Harold Arthur (born 21 September 1916) was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Arthur, a centreman, made three appearances with North Melbourne in 1941 but then didn't play for the next two years due to the war.[2] He returned to the team in 1944 but was unable to become a regular fixture in the side.[2] In 1945 he won the Gardiner Medal, which was rewarded to the Best and Fairest player in the league seconds. The following year he began playing for Port Melbourne.[3]
He was the uncle of Hawthorn premiership captain Graham Arthur and the younger brother of Alan Arthur, who played for Essendon.[4]
