Arthur Girling (1807 – June 1849) was an English first-class cricketer and umpire.

Girling was born at Burton upon Trent in 1807. He made his debut in first-class cricket for the North against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1841, with Girling also featuring in the return fixture at Burton-on-Trent.[1] He next played first-class cricket in 1845, when he appeared for Manchester against Yorkshire at Manchester. He played first-class cricket for Manchester until 1848, making six appearances.[1] Playing as a bowler for Manchester, he took a total of 34 wickets at an average of 11.05, with best figures of 6 for 32.[2] These figures came against Sheffield in 1848, a match in which he took two five-wicket hauls.[3] He also stood as an umpire in two first-class matches in 1840 and 1841.[4] Girling died at Manchester in June 1849.
