Tony Moclair (born 4 September 1969, County Cork, Ireland) is an Australian comedian, actor, writer, performer, and radio broadcaster. Renowned for his versatility, Moclair has contributed to numerous Australian radio networks, frequently showcasing his talent by performing as distinctive characters rather than appearing as himself. Moclair, also known as Tony Kelly, teamed up with Chris Hatzis and Julian Schiller to host the long-running breakfast program The Breakfasters on 3RRR 102.7 FM.

In August 2004, Moclair joined Nova 91.9 as a co-host of the breakfast radio show Jodie, Jules and Tony, with Ryan, remaining part of the program until 2006. In the mid 2000s, he hosted weekday breakfast radio on ABC Radio Adelaide, and co-hosted the breakfast program on ABC Radio Melbourne during the 2007/2008 summer season. In late 2008, Moclair stepped in as a guest co-host of The Shebang radio program on Triple M, and the following year was appointed as breakfast co-host on The Hot Breakfast, joining Eddie McGuire, Luke Darcy, and Mieke Buchan. In September 2023, 3AW revealed that Moclair would succeed Dee Dee Dunleavy as host of Afternoons, beginning on 30 October 2023.

Moclair's work showcases his versatility, spanning roles as himself and performances as a variety of character creations, including Guido Hatzis, a Greek-Australian comedic character created with Julian Schiller. The popularity of Guido Hatzis led to the release of several albums, including Do Not Talk Over Me (1999), which achieved platinum sales and won the 2001 ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release. Moclair has contributed as a writer for Shaun Micallef's Newstopia on SBS and writes for Mad As Hell and Spicks and Specks, both on ABC. Born in Cork, Ireland, in 1969, he graduated from Monash University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in history and English literature.
