San Antonio or San Antón was a Spanish carrack that was part of the Magellan expedition. It was involved in the discovery of the Falkland Islands, with the most widely distributed account attributing the discovery of the Falkland Islands to Esteban Gómez, the pilot of the ship, whose name was initially given to the islands (referred to as "Sansón").
