Vincent Joseph Banonis (April 9, 1921 – October 23, 2010) was an American football player.
Banonis was born on April 9, 1921, in Detroit, Michigan, to a family of Lithuanian origin.
He attended Detroit Catholic Central High School.
He was the center and captain for Catholic Central team that won a Detroit city championship.
Banonis enrolled at the University of Detroit in 1938 and played at the center position (on both offense and defense) for head coach Gus Dorais' Detroit Titans football team from 1939 to 1941.
