Arthur Ingersoll Meigs (1882-1956) was an American architect.
He was born on June 29, 1882. His father was Dr. Arthur Vincent Meigs and his mother, Mary Roberts (Browning) Meigs. He graduated from the William Penn Charter School in 1899 and from Princeton University in 1903.

In 1906, he started an architectural practise with Walter Mellor (1880-1940). Later in 1916, George Howe (1886–1955) joined their practise as Mellor, Meigs & Howe, up until 1928. Together, they designed Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house at the University of Washington located at 5404 17th Avenue NE University District in Seattle, Washington.
