António José da Silva Garrido (3 December 1932 – 10 September 2014) was a Portuguese football referee.

António Garrido was considered one of the best referees of his time, being the first portuguese to officiate an European Cup final in 1980. He refereed three matches in the FIFA World Cup, two in the 1978 and one in the 1982 - the 3rd place play-off match. He also refereed one match in the 1980 UEFA European Football Championship in Italy, and an UEFA Super Cup Final (1977). Although he was an accountant by profession, Garrido continued involved in football after his retirement, in 1982. He had several positions, becoming member of Portuguese referee committee, FIFA referee instructor and UEFA observer. After his retirement, he admitted to have become a F.C. Porto fan, despite being himself declared as a Sporting CP childhood supporter during his all career. He was involved in Portuguese football scandal Apito Dourado and in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League semi-final match between Porto and Villarreal CF, after the match he dined with the referee Björn Kuipers, Reinaldo Teles and Porto's president Pinto da Costa in a restaurant located on Rua do Roberto Ivens, Matosinhos, Portugal.

He died on 10 September 2014 after a long illness.

1978 World Cup

Garrido officiated the match between the hosts Argentina, and Hungary, and became the first referee who red carded two players, from the same team, in a World Cup match. He was accused of blatantly favoring the hosts, as he failed to penalize several hard tackles made by the Argentinians, while showing little to no hesitation in sending off both of Hungary's strikers, Tibor Nyilasi and András Törőcsik.
