Antonín Puč (16 May 1907 – 18 April 1988) was a Czech footballer who played as a forward. He was the all-time leading scorer for the Czechoslovak national team.
Puč's international career lasted from 1926 to 1939, during which he played 61 matches for Czechoslovakia, scoring 35 goals. He played for Czechoslovakia at the 1934 FIFA World Cup, scoring two goals, including one in the final — a 2–1 loss against Italy — before going on to play in the 1938 edition. Puč spent most of his club career with Slavia Prague.
Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the corresponding national team, Jan Koller surpassed Puč's record in 2005. Puč died in 1988 at the age of 80.
