Antoon van Schendel (Lage Zwaluwe, 9 May 1910 to Muret, France, 6 August 1990) was a Dutch professional road bicycle racer. He was born in the Netherlands but became a professional cyclist in France. The highlight of his career was his stage victory in the 1938 Tour de France, the 63-kilometre Stage 10a. He was the older brother of the cyclist Albert van Schendel, who also won one stage in the Tour de France, so the two brothers each have a Tour stage win to their name. He died in Muret in the south of France at the age of 80.
