Carlos Uriel Antuna Romero (born 21 August 1997), also known as El Brujo, is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga MX club Cruz Azul and the Mexico national team.

On 3 November 2017, Juan Carlos Osorio named Antuna to the senior national team for the friendly matches against Belgium and Poland on 10 and 13 November but did not appear in either match.

In May 2019, Antuna was included in Gerardo Martino's preliminary list for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He made his debut on 5 June in a friendly against Venezuela, appearing as a 68th minute substitute for Roberto Alvarado. After originally being left out of the definite list for the Gold Cup, he was included after Jorge Sánchez picked up an injury in a friendly match against Ecuador. In Mexico's opening match against Cuba, Antuna scored a hat-trick and provided an assist in the team's 7–0 rout; his first goal at the 2nd minute of the match is the fastest goal scored by Mexico in a Gold Cup tournament. He appeared in every match as Mexico would go on to win the tournament.

On 19 November, in Mexico's final Nations League group stage match against Bermuda, Antuna scored the winning goal in injury time to secure a 2–1 win, maintaining Mexico's perfect group-stage record.
