Arthur Carlisle (29 November 1881 – 5 January 1943) was the 6thAnglican Bishop of Montreal from 1939 to 1943.

Carlisle was born in Portsmouth on 29 November 1881, and emigrated to London, Ontario with his parents where he was educated at the Collegiate Institute and Huron University College at Western Ontario University before studying for ordination and embarking on a curacy at Memorial Church in his adopted home city. From there he was successively Rector of Holy Trinity Church, Lucan and All Saints Church Windsor before wartime service as Chaplain with the 18th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, during which time he held the rank of Captain. When hostilities ceased he returned again to London to become Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral . From there he moved in 1921 to Montreal where he was to spend the rest of his ecclesiastical career. The large part of this was as Dean of Montreal at the Cathedral Church and at the outbreak of the Second World War (1939) elevation to that See’s Bishopric. He died four years later on January 5, 1943, “one of the most distinguished and highly respected clergymen in Canada”.
