Arthur Loveridge (28 May 1891 – 16 February 1980) was a British biologist and herpetologist who wrote about animals of East Africa, particularly Tanzania, and of New Guinea.
Arthur Loveridge was born in Penarth, Wales, and was interested in natural history from childhood.
During WW1, he joined the East African Mounted Rifles, later returning to the museum to build up the collections.
In 1924, he joined the Museum of Comparative Zoology in the grounds of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was the curator of herpetology.
He returned to East Africa on several field trips and wrote many scientific papers before retiring from Harvard in 1957.
