Arthur Percival Gwynn (11 June 1874 – 14 February 1898) was an Irish cricketer and rugby union player.
Arthur Percival Gwynn was born in Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland, the fifth son of the Very Rev John Gwynn D.D. and Josephine O'Brien. He was educated at St Columba's College, Rathfarnham and Trinity College, Dublin. He excelled academically as well as on the sporting field. The most outgoing of the Gwynn brothers at Trinity College, he cut a handsome and dashing figure. He graduated from Dublin University in 1896, taking a double first in his finals. After completing the induction course for the Indian Civil Service in the autumn of 1897 he travelled to Burma for his first tour of duty. Tragically his promising career came to an abrupt end a few months later: in late January 1898 he died in Rangoon of septicaemia resulting from a tooth infection.
A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, Arthur Gwynn played for the Ireland cricket team five times between 1893 and 1896 and also played four first-class matches for Dublin University in 1895.
He made his debut for Ireland in a match against WH Laverton's XI, scoring one run in the only Irish innings. The following year, he played twice for Ireland, against I Zingari and South Africa. He scored 62 in the second innings against South Africa, his top score for Ireland.
