Arthur Hadfield Fisher (11 February 1871 – 23 March 1961) was a New Zealand cricketer and businessman.

He was born in Nelson, New Zealand.[1] He played for Otago from 1890-91 to 1909-10 as a left-arm medium-pace bowler, taking 197 wickets at an average of 16.38. Against a touring Queensland cricket team in 1896-97 he took 9 for 50 in the first innings.[2]

He represented New Zealand, in the days before New Zealand had Test status, in matches against Australian and English teams. Against the MCC in Wellington in 1906-07, he took 4 for 25 and 5 for 61 in a 56-run victory for New Zealand.[3]

He died in Dunedin in 1961 at the age of 90.
