Anton Ronald Andrew Murray (30 April 1922 – 17 April 1995^[1]) was a South African cricketer.

He played in 10 Test matches in just over a year from December 1952 to February 1954, appearing four times against Australia and then six times against New Zealand. He later toured England as a member of the 1955 South African side, but did not appear in any of the Tests there. Outside of cricket, he was a schoolmaster who founded a noted school in Pretoria.
