Arthur Hugh Lister FRS (1830–1908) was a wine merchant and botanist, known for his research on Mycetozoa also known as slime molds.

He did research on the Mycetozoa, publishing in the 'Annals of Botany', the 'Journal' of the Linnean Society, and the 'Proceedings' of the Essex Field Club, in reference to the species and life-history of these organisms.

His principal work, 'A Monograph of the Mycetozoa' (with 78 plates), issued by the trustees of the British Museum in 1894, is an exhaustive catalogue of the species in the national herbarium.

He married in 1855 and was the father of four daughters and three sons, one of whom was the zoologist Joseph Jackson Lister.
