Tony Choy is an American bass guitar player. He was a session musician for some well-known death metal bands such as Atheist, Cynic and the Dutch Pestilence. His playing is very jazz-oriented and he has provided a lot of new ideas for metal bass lines.

Nowadays he sings and plays bass in a Latin pop group named Area 305.
