Antonio Ruiz Pérez (born June 17, 1911, date of death unknown), nicknamed "Loco", was a Cuban professional baseball pitcher and second baseman who played in the Negro leagues and the Mexican League, as well as in minor league baseball, in the 1940s and 1950s.
A native of Havana, Cuba, Ruiz played for the Indianapolis–Cincinnati Clowns in 1944.
