Scolopax anthonyi is a prehistoric species of woodcock in the family Scolopacidae that was once endemic to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Fossil remains were initially identified as belonging to a snipe of the genus Gallinago, but a re-analysis of the bones in 1976 indicated that they belonged to a woodcock. It has more osteological similarities to Eurasian woodcock than the American woodcock, a trait it shares with the extinct Scolopax brachycarpa of Hispaniola. Both of these species may have belonged to a distinct insular radiation in the Caribbean, which are now extinct.

Ambas especies podrían haber pertenecido a una radiación insular caribeña diferenciada de las chochas, todas ellas extintas.​ S. anthonyi había reducido sus alas en comparación con el resto de especies del género, lo que indica que podría tener un estilo de vida más terrestre. Probablemente vivía en hábitats forestales, como los de los miembros supervivientes del género. Se desconocen las causas de su extinción.​ (es)

Scolopax anthonyi had reduced wings compared to other species in the genus, indicating that it may have had a more terrestrial lifestyle. It likely lived in a forested habitat, as with extant members of the genus. Little is known about the cause for its extinction. (en)
