Antonín Hönig was a Czech cyclist.[1] In 1926, he was the Czechoslovak national champion,[2] and he took part in the 1926 UCI Road World Championships.[3] Two years later, he competed for Czechoslovakia in the individual and team road race events at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[4][5]

Honig's cycling activities were the inspiration for his cousin Josef Josten to take up sports journalism.[6]
