Arthur Ewell Redfern (October 4, 1885 – May 8, 1917) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey who in 1903 was the highest paid rider in the United States.

[4] Sidelined until June 12, the accident significantly affected Redfern's performance on his return to racing and by October 18 a newspaper story virtually dismissed him as a has-been.

[8] For months, American newspapers carried stories filled with speculation that Redfern would move to Europe to race where weight limits were higher.

[9] and the January 30, 1906 San Jose Evening News stated that if Arthur Redfern did not sign to ride for James R. Keene, he would probably race in France.

[12] In 1907, Arthur Redfern was out of racing, ending a short but brilliant career in which he rode for other top stable owners such as Richard T. Wilson, Jr., John Sanford, and James R. Keene.
