Arthur Thompson Cushing (February 10, 1869 – March 26, 1944) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a municipal councillor in Edmonton.

He moved to Edmonton in 1900 to manage his brother's lumber business.

At the expiration of his term, at the 1904 election he chose to run for the public school board rather than seeking re-election as alderman.

He did not run for re-election at the conclusion of his two year term, devoting himself to the construction of a new factory in 1911.

In the 1927 election, newly retired from his business, Arthur Cushing returned for a third and final stint as a school trustee.
