Toni Ribas (born Antoni García Cabra on 13 June 1975) is a Spanish pornographic actor and director. In 2010, he was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

Ribas began acting in pornography in 1994. Ribas worked for Brazzers and performed in 78 videos as of 2 November 2018. He performed in about 1,300 videos in his pornographic career.

Ribas was born in Sant Boi de Llobregat, in the Province of Barcelona, Spain. At 13, he was hyperactive, had boundless energy and a tendency to get into trouble. He belonged to the Unió Esportiva Santboiana rugby club. He was also dedicated to helping his father with maintenance services such as injection molds and special tools. During his studies at the Bachillerato Unificado Polivalente (BUP) in Sant Boi in Barcelona, he earned extra money selling calculators. Some time later, he completed his military service.

In 1994, at the age of 19, Ribas saw an ad in the newspaper Segunda Mano about working for actors in pornographic productions and he entered the casting. At the audition, he was selected to be part of the cast of Venganza sexual, directed by José María Ponce, who hired Ribas in the Spanish-language video production of Club Privado, which premiered on TV on 1 December 1995.

For three years, Ribas worked at the Sala de Fiestas Bagdad porn club in Barcelona, where he met Nacho Vidal and his then-girlfriend Jazmine.

In 1996, in Madrid, Ribas played Toni Navarro in the International Film Group (IFG) film Showgirls, directed by José María Ponce and alongside actors Nina Hartley, Hakan Belkiran, Max Cortés and Ramón Nomar.^{[citation needed]}
