Sir Arthur Henry Freeling, 5th Baronet (26 July 1820 – 26 March 1885) was the fifth Surveyor General of South Australia.

In March 1857, Freeling was elected to the newly constituted Legislative Council, where he sat until his resignation in August 1859.

[2] He was a member of the Finniss Ministry of South Australia as Commissioner of Public Works from October 1856 to March 1857, when he retired rather than relinquish the permanent post of Surveyor-General.

In 1860, the Victorian government botanist, Ferdinand von Mueller named a newly discovered flowering plant Eremophila freelingii in his honour.

The type specimen of the species had been collected by George Charles Hawker on Freeling's expedition to Lake Torrens in South Australia.
