Anthony Paul Ghelfi (born August 23, 1961) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. Drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980,[1] he played at the Major League level with the team for 2 weeks in September 1983.[2]

Ghelfi made is Major League debut on September 1, 1983 as the starting pitcher when the Phillies hosted the San Francisco Giants. After surrendering a run before recording the game's first out, he settled in and was the winning pitcher in the Phillies' 4–2 victory, striking out 6 along the way.[3] On September 6, in his second ML start, he pitched 4 1⁄3 scoreless innings, giving up 5 hits, and striking out 4, as the Phillies went on to beat the New York Mets, 2–0.[4] However, since he did not pitch the requisite 5 innings for a starter to earn a win, he left with a no-decision.[4] He did not fare as well in his third, and final, ML start on September 13 against the Mets when he surrendered 3 runs in 5 innings of work.[5] Although he struck out 4, he was the losing pitcher, as the Phillies lost 5–1.[5]

Following his brief MLB stint, Ghelfi finished out his professional career in the minor league systems of the Phillies (1984–1985), Cleveland Indians (1987–1988), and San Diego Padres (1989).[6]
