Antonio Paul Palladino (born 29 June 1983), known as Tony Palladino, is an English professional cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He currently plays for Derbyshire County Cricket Club after being released by Essex at the end of the 2010 season
Palladino, a seam-bowler, made his debut for the Essex Second XI in 2000, shortly after his seventeenth birthday, but only made two appearances before leaving to play for Wanstead in the Essex Cricket League and occasionally for Essex Cricket Board in the County Cup. He was contracted to Essex again and made his debut in the C&G Trophy in his last game of 2002, and played in the County Championship for the first time against Leicestershire in 2003, going on to make two further County Championship appearances this season.
Palladino played just two County Championship games during 2004, having dislocated his shoulder at the end of the previous season, which proved to hamper his progress, as Essex finished in mid-table in Division Two.
While studying at Anglia Polytechnic University he played for British Universities, including representing them against Banglasdesh in Bangladesh's 2005 tour of England. Following a match against Loughborough UCCE at the beginning of 2006, he played five County Championship games for Essex in both the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
On 5 June 2012, he took a first-class hat-trick against Leicestershire, the third wicket of Ramnaresh Sarwan was his 200th in first-class cricket.
