José Antonio “Toñín” Casillas Fernández (born 8 August 1935) in Humacao, Puerto Rico is a Puerto Rican former basketball player who competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics.

He was named "José Antonio" at birth, but was quickly nicknamed Toñín—derived from "Antonio." He has three children, one stepson, and four grandchildren. Casillas has been a great influence in his community, and until recently was former manager of 'Los Caciques,' the official basketball team of Humacao, Puerto Rico, until he decided to quit mostly for health reasons. He is loved by many, and considered a leader and gentleman. Currently, he resides in his original hometown of Humacao, Puerto Rico, with his lovely wife Yvonne Márquez.
