Arno van Wyk (born 19 May 1994) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with French side Montpellier in the Top 14 competition. He usually plays as a hooker.
Van Wyk was born in Parow, but was never selected to represent Western Province at school level. He moved to Pretoria after school to join the Blue Bulls academy prior to the 2013 season and made thirteen appearances for a Blue Bulls U19 side that won the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring tries in matches against the Leopards and Border.
He made three appearances for UP Tuks in the 2014 Varsity Cup, scoring a try in his side's 26–16 victory over UCT Ikey Tigers. He made his first class debut on 25 April 2014, coming on as a replacement for the final half an hour of their match against the Limpopo Blue Bulls and scoring a try in his side's 116–0 victory. He made one more appearance as a replacement in the competition and was then called up to the South Africa Under-20 team. He was not initially named in the team, but replaced Malcolm Marx in the squad after he picked up an injury after their first match of the competition. Despite his call-up, Van Wyk failed to make an appearance in the competition. He returned to domestic action to make seven appearances for the Blue Bulls U21s in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, including in the final which was won by the Blue Bulls after beating Western Province 20–10 in Cape Town.
