Tony Bircumshaw (born 8 February 1945 in Mansfield, England) is a former footballer who played in the full back position.

Bircumshaw was a product of the youth system at Notts County where his older brother Peter Bircumshaw was already a first team regular. Tony Bircumshaw made his Football League debut on 3 April 1961 for Notts County at Brentford and at 16 years and 54 days he set a record as the club's youngest player.^[2] The record remains in place to date,^[3] although he was outstripped for the all competitions record when Jermaine Pennant featured for the club in an FA Cup tie as a 15-year-old.^[4]

Bircumshaw left Notts in July 1966, to move to Hartlepools United, remaining at the club until 1971. Whilst there, he was a member of the side that won promotion in the 1967–68 season.^[5]
