Arthur Tayfield (born 21 June 1931) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket in South Africa from 1948 to 1963. He is the younger brother of the Test player Hugh Tayfield. Arthur Tayfield was an off-spin bowler and a useful batsman who could bat at any position in the order. His best bowling figures came when he was playing for Transvaal against Natal in the Currie Cup in 1951-52, when he took 6 for 75 and 4 for 55. His highest score came ten years later when, opening the Transvaal innings against Eastern Province, he scored 205 in an innings victory.
