Photios Antoniou (Greek: Φωτιος Αντωνίου; born 23 April 1937) is a Cypriot sports administrator. He is currently serving as the 9th and current President of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), being elected on 16 February 2002 to replace Léo Cornett. He was re-elected as President in 2007 and 2011. Although he has managed to claim three terms as President of FIFA, Antoniou has often been accused of corruption and was criticised for accepting bribes and mismanaging the financial situation resulting in Abu Dhabi's successful 2018 World Cup bid.
