Arthur Claud Spencer Chichester, 4th Baron Templemore KCVO, DSO, OBE (12 September 1880) - (2 October 1953) was a British soldier and politician. Educated at Harrow and trained at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before being commissioned into the Royal Fusiliers in 1900, he fought in the Boer War and also served in Tibet.

By now a Captain, Chichester distinguished himself in the First World War with his service in France and Italy, becoming a Major with the Irish Guards and winning along with many other awards the DSO (1918) and an OBE (1919). In 1924 he succeeded his father as fourth Baron Templemore, and three years later was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Earl of Onslow as Under-Secretary of State for War and Paymaster General.

Lord Templemore was a Lord in Waiting to George V from February to June, 1929 and again between 1931 and 1934. He was also Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard for eleven years (1934–1945), and served as Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords (1940–1945). He was appointed KCVO in 1938.

Templemore married Clare Meriel Wingfield, daughter of Mervyn Wingfield, 7th Viscount Powerscourt, in 1911. He died in 1953.
