Antonín "Toni" Šváb, Jr. (June 9, 1974 in Vlašim) is a former Czech motorcycle speedway rider who has won silver medal in the 1999 Speedway World Team Cup for the Czech Republic. He has entered in three Individual Under-21 World Championship finals (1993–1995) and has started in the Speedway Grand Prix and the Speedway World Cup.
