Arthur Joseph "Art" Mooney (February 11, 1911, Lowell Massachusetts  – September 9, 1993) was an American singer and bandleader. His biggest hits were "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" and "Baby Face" in 1948 and "Nuttin' For Christmas," with Barry Gordon, in 1955. His fourth million selling song "Honey Babe" (1955) was used in the motion picture, Battle Cry, having reached the Top 10 in the US.

He also made a popular 1948 recording of "Bluebird of Happiness", but it could not compete with Jan Peerce's best-selling 1945 version. Mooney's name, as well as his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, was prominently featured in the 1990 motion picture The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

He died at age 82 in North Miami, Florida of lung disease on September 9, 1993, aged 82. He was survived by his wife, Vera, his sister, Marce Kaminsky, and 13 nieces and nephews.
