Arthur Hinsley (1865–1943) was an English prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Westminster from 1935 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1937.
Hinsley was born in Carlton near Selby, to Thomas and Bridget (née Ryan) Hinsley. His father was a carpenter and his mother was an Irish Catholic. He studied at Ushaw College in Durham and thence the English College in Rome. Hinsley's education was sponsored by his pastor, who was also one of the Duke of Norfolk's chaplains at Carlton Towers.
Ordained to the priesthood on 23 December 1893, Hinsley taught at Ushaw College until 1897. He took up pastoral ministry in Leeds in 1898, and served as headmaster of St. Bede's Grammar School (which he also founded) from 1900 to 1904. In 1917, after another period of pastoral work, Hinsley became a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness (14 November) and the rector of the English College in Rome, a post in which he remained until 1928.
