Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Antoni Andrzej Łyko (27 May 1907 – 3 June 1941) was a Polish footballer who played as a striker.

When playing for Wisła Kraków, he was a member of the Poland national football team for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. However, he did not actually travel to Strasbourg for the tournament. He was capped twice for Poland, with both games against Latvia.[2]

Implicated in support of the Polish Armed Resistance, Łyko was arrested by the Gestapo on the streets of Kraków during the German occupation in World War II, and taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was shot in June 1941.[1]
