Arthur Edwards Kimish (5 July 1917 — May 2001) was an English first-class cricketer.

Kimish was born at Southampton in July 1917, and was educated there at Taunton's College.[1] A wicket-keeper, he played club cricket for Old Tauntonians,[2] Kimish made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Leicestershire at Bournemouth in the 1946 County Championship, having been called into the Hampshire side as a replacement for their regular wicket-keeper Neil McCorkell.[1] He made a further two first-class appearances for Hampshire in 1946, both in the County Championship against Lancashire and Surrey.[3] In his three appearances, he scored 18 runs and took three catches and stumpings apiece.[4]

He later moved to Birmingham in the 1960s, where he worked as a manager.[5] Kimish died in Warwickshire in May 2001.
