Arthur Joseph Serratelli (born April 18, 1944) is the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson in northern New Jersey, USA.

Serratelli was born in Newark, New Jersey, and attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in the Ironbound section of Newark. He graduated from Seton Hall Preparatory School in 1961. He attended Seton Hall University for two years, then moved to the Darlington section of Mahwah, New Jersey, to attend the Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology. After two years of philosophy studies, Serratelli continued his studies in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University, residing at the Pontifical North American College.

Ordained for the Archdiocese of Newark in 1968, Serratelli worked in a parish for a short period of time and then taught at the seminary. He then returned to Rome and earned his S.T.D. and S.S.L. degrees.

Serratelli returned to the Archdiocese of Newark and taught scripture at Seton Hall University School of Theology for over 20 years. He also held other positions during this time, including rector of the College division of the Immaculate Conception Seminary at St. Andrew's Hall. Pope John Paul II named him a Prelate of Honor in 1998.
