Arthur Lindsay Sulley (November 8, 1908[1] – November 1994) was a British rower who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics.
In 1928, he was part of the British eight, which won the silver medal.
He coxed the winning Cambridge crew in the 1928 University Boat Race. In preparation for the Boat Race, he had joined Thames Rowing Club and had come down to the club on Sundays to increase his knowledge of the Championship Course. He was then asked by Jack Beresford to cox the Thames eight in the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. After winning the Grand, the crew was selected to represent Great Britain at the Amsterdam Olympics.
Sulley later went on to coach at Thames.
