Major Seth Kobla Anthony, MBE (15 June 1915 – 20 November 2008) was a Ghanaian soldier and diplomat.
He was the first black African-born soldier to be commissioned as an officer in the British Army.
Seth Anthony was born at Adafienu in the Volta Region of Ghana.
His parents were Timothy Agbetsiafa Anthony and Juliana Seakowuwo.
Seth Anthony started his elementary education at the Bremen Mission School at Keta also in the Volta Region of Ghana in 1920.
He proceeded to the Achimota School intending to train as a teacher.
His admission was deferred for a year as he was thought to be too young.
His progress was so impressive he was fast tracked to the secondary education section.
He was the head prefect in 1935.
Anthony joined the staff of the Achimota School to teach Latin, English and Mathematics in 1937.
Later during the Second World War he enlisted as a private with the British Army.

He later opened Ghana's embassy there and was the first Chargé d'affaires of the new Ghanaian diplomatic mission in Washington, D.C. He was at the same time Ghana's Acting Representative to the United Nations and delivered the acceptance speech when Ghana was admitted into the UN.
He was the Ghanaian High Commissioner to India between 1962 and 1966, after which he was the High Commissioner to the United Kingdom until 1970.
Following the Second World War, Anthony served as an Assistant District Officer, a position held by only two other Africans at the time (one was Kofi Busia, who became Prime Minister of Ghana in 1969).
He also served as High Commissioner to Canada until his retirement in 1973.
He served with the 81st Division of the Royal West African Frontier Force, where he became the first African commissioned officer in the history of the British Army.
