Antonia Delaere (born 1 August 1994) is a Belgian basketball player for the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA. She plays internationally for the Belgian national team.[3]

She participated at the EuroBasket Women 2017,[4] the EuroBasket Women 2021 where Belgium won the bronze medal.[5] She was also part of the Belgian squad that became European champion in 2023 and 2025.[6] In that latter tournament, she became the unlikely match winner for Belgium in both the semi-final against Italy and the final against Spain making clutch match winning baskets allowing Belgium to overtake the lead in both games with reps. 17 and 5 seconds left on the clock.[7][8]
