Thomas Arnold Harvey (known as Arnold; born 17 April 1878 in Marsh's Library, Dublin, Ireland; died 25 December 1966 in Dublin) was an Irish cricketer and Rugby Union player. He was captain of Dublin University Cricket Club in 1902, and while still at Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) toured with an Ireland XI. Harvey was also an international hurdler as a student. He later became a Church of Ireland (Anglican) bishop.
A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler, he played three times for the Ireland cricket team between 1901 and 1902, including two first-class matches.
Harvey made his debut for Ireland against South Africa in June 1901. It was an unsuccessful debut, with Harvey being bowled for just one run and not taking a wicket when bowling. The following year, he played his only two first-class matches, against Oxford University and Cambridge University, taking 2/67 in the first innings of the Oxford match, his only wickets for Ireland, and scoring 62 in the first innings against Cambridge, his top score for Ireland.
In his three matches for Ireland, he scored 115 runs at an average of 19.17 and took two wickets at an average of 52.00.
