Anthony Wayne Teachey (born March 27, 1962) is a retired American basketball player. He played several years in the top leagues in Italy, Spain and France and played college basketball at Wake Forest University.

Teachey came to Wake Forest from Goldsboro High School in Goldsboro, North Carolina as an undersized but athletic center. As a senior, Teachey led the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in rebounding at 10.0 per game and added 13.1 points per game, earning second-team All-ACC honors. The Deacons made a run in the 1984 NCAA Tournament, ultimately falling to Houston and future Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. Following his senior season, Teachey was invited to the 1984 Olympic trials but did not make the final roster.

Following the close of his college career, Teachey was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the 1984 NBA draft (40th pick overall). However, he chose to sign in Italy instead.

After his playing career ended, Teachey stayed involved in basketball by working with children in sports in his hometown of Goldsboro.
