Arthur Lockwood (23 October 1883 – 19 February 1966) was a British political activist. Born in the Darnall area of Sheffield, Lockwood left school at the age of fourteen. He took various jobs before settling as a pattern-maker. He spent much of his spare time at the Darnall Congregational Church and its associated temperance society. An early member of the Workers Educational Association, he also joined the Independent Labour Party and the Labour Party. This political activity led his employer to sack him, and he instead became an insurance agent.
