Arnold Paul Pascoe (1908–1976) was a New Zealand architect. He was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1908.[1] He designed airport terminal buildings for Christchurch International Airport (late 1950s), Wellington International Airport (late 1960s), and Rarotonga International Airport (early 1970s).[1]

During his secondary school time, Peter Beaven had a conversation with Pascoe that led him to choose architecture as a career.[2]

Two of Pascoe's designs are listed with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. One is the 1948 Pascoe House in 58 Colenso Street, Sumner, Christchurch, which was listed as Category II on 31 March 2000.[3] The other is the design of the 1955 extension to the Christ's College Chapel. While the size of the chapel doubled, the Gothic Revival appearance of the school's quadrangle did not change.[4]
