Louis Antonio Page (27 March 1899 – 11 October 1959) was an England international football player and football manager. His brothers Tom, Jack and Willie were also professional footballers.

He spent his youth with Everton and South Liverpool before beginning his professional career with Stoke in 1919. After the "Potters" won promotion out of the Second Division, he moved on to Northampton Town in 1922. Three years later, he moved up to the First Division with Burnley. He scored 111 goals in 248 league games for the "Clarets" before he was sold to Manchester United for a £1,000 fee in March 1932. Seven months later, he moved on to Port Vale before ending his playing career in the Football League in the summer of 1933.

He started his management career with Yeovil & Petters United and led the club to the Southern League West Section and Western League Division 1 titles in 1934–35. He then returned to the Football League with Newport County. He later took charge at Glentoran before he was put in charge at Swindon Town following the conclusion of World War II. He spent eight years in charge of the Third Division South club before he spent three years in charge at Chester, who were struggling at the foot of the Third Division North table.
