Antonio Ubaldo Rattín (born 16 May 1937) is an Argentine former footballer, best known as a Boca Juniors midfielder, and because of an incident in a match at the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Rattín remains as one of the greatest idols of Boca Juniors, the only club where he played for 15 years, winning 5 titles. He also played for the Argentina national team, winning the Taça das Nações (Nations Cup) in 1964.
Following the end of his professional sports career, Rattín became involved in politics, and, in 2001, was elected to the National Chamber of Deputies for the Federalist Unity Party list in Buenos Aires.
