Antonio Chenel Albadalejo (; 24 June 1932 – 22 October 2011), professionally and popularly known as Antoñete (), was a Spanish bullfighter. His family had no background in bullfighting beyond Antoñete's father having been a monosabio (a picador's assistant).
Antoñete himself explained that his maternal surname should really be Albaladejo, rather than Albadalejo. The transposition of two of the letters in this name arose from bureaucratic carelessness when his National Identity Document was issued.
