Anton Ekeroth (born 16 September 2001) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a left back for Hamkam in the Norwegian Eliteserien.

Ekeroth started his youth career in a small club. [2] He played youth football for Kalmar FF, being loaned briefly to IFK Berga in 2020 while mostly playing for Kalmar's P19 Allsvenskan team. [3] In 2021 he spent the entire season on loan to Kalmar's cooperation club Oskarshamns AIK.

He then moved to Superettan and AFC Eskilstuna in 2022. [4] His first Superettan goal secured one point against Östersund in August 2023. [5]

Shortly after that, he moved to the newly relegated club AC Horsens in the Danish 1st Division. He immediately became a starting player for Horsens.
