Arthur Collins (7 September 1871 – 22 July 1945) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Sussex between 1895 and 1902. He appeared in 53 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman who bowled left-arm orthodox spin.[1]
An opening batsman, Collins made his only first-class century against Gloucestershire in June 1900, when he scored 22 and 102.[2] Later that month, on a difficult pitch at Eastbourne, he batted for 195 minutes while top-scoring with 29 in a team total of 108 against Essex.[3][4] He missed the 1901 season after contracting typhoid fever.[5] In Sussex's two matches against Gloucestershire in 1896 he dismissed W. G. Grace twice with his spin bowling, though Grace scored a total of 547 runs in the two matches.[6]
