Arthur George Littleford (1868 – after 1894) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]

Born in Wellington, Shropshire, Littleford played local football before joining Small Heath in 1893. A regular full back in the reserves, he played rarely and not well for the Second Division team in the 1893–94 season,[2] though always on the winning side. He made his debut in a 2–1 home win against Middlesbrough Ironopolis on 23 December 1893.[3] He later played for Berwick Rangers (Worcester).[2]
