Antonio Campolo (born 7 February 1897 – 22 May 1959) was a Uruguayan footballer and Olympic gold medalist who played as a left winger for Peñarol and the Uruguay national team.[1]

An Olympic gold medalist in 1928, Campolo had already been a champion with Uruguay in the 1920 South American Championship. He spent his club career at Peñarol, playing for the Carbonero between 1915 and 1931, and is, to this day, the player who won the most titles, both official and friendly, with the club. He won the Uruguayan club championship with Peñarol in 1918, ‘21, ‘28, and ‘29, the 1924 FUF Tournament, the 1926 Provisional Council Tournament, and the 1928 Aldao Cup.
