John Lake Allen Arthur (born 7 April 1847, in Longford, Tasmania) was a Tasmanian cricket player, who played first class cricket for Tasmania.

He was an opening batsman and a roundarm bowler which was the more common form of bowling at the time. Arthur represented Tasmania in three first-class matches, and a single game for a Rest of Australia side in 1872/73. Bizarrely, despite not normally playing as a wicket-keeper and never taking a single first-class catch, he did effect one first-class stumping whilst filling in as keeper. In the same match in the 1868-69 season he captained the Tasmanian side, although the match was lost and Tasmania were bowled out for just 18 in the first innings.^[1]

John Lake Allen Arthur died in his hometown of Longford, Tasmania on 26 April 1877, aged 30 years and 19 days.
