Rogelio Antonio Jr. (born February 19, 1962) is a Filipino chess grandmaster,[1] who was awarded the title in 1993. He is affectionately known as "Joey" Antonio or GM Joey. Antonio finished third in the 2009 Asia Continental Chess Championship and became the first player in the Philippines' history to qualify for the World Cup later in 2009. As of December 2012, his Elo rating was 2541,[2][3] making him the second ranked player in the Philippines and number 391 in the world.

Antonio has played many times for the Philippines Olympiad team, mostly on board 2, behind Philippine's first grandmaster Eugenio Torre. Antonio's tally in this arena has never fallen below 50% and in 2000, at Istanbul, he scored 7/10 with a performance rating of 2682.

Some of Antonio's best results include 3rd at the Manapla, Negros Occidental event in 2001, 2nd at the Leuven Open 2003 and 2nd at the Malaysian Open of 2005. Also in 2005, he took a bronze medal at the blitz event of the South East Asian (SEA) Games and a board one gold medal at the National Open Team Championship for club side Tagaytay City, with a score of 6/7.
