Arthur Shrewsbury (11 April 1856-19 May 1903) was an English cricketer who was widely rated as competing with WG Grace for the accolade of being the best batsman of the 1880s. He played his cricket for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and played 23 test matches for England, captaining them in 7 games, with a record of won 5, lost 2. He was the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1890.

He retired from cricket in 1902, and shot himself whilst staying at his sister's the next year following a bout of depression.
