Arthur George Lee Hellyer (16 December 1902 – 28 January 1993) was a well-known British horticulturalist.
Some of his books covered single plants, such as Chrysanthemums (1958), Roses (1957), Dahlias (1963) and Tomatoes (1954).
Some covered specific aspects or problems, as Plant Propagation (1955), Herbaceous Borders (1955), or Garden Pests and Diseases (1964).
