Arthur Montague "Joe" Ongley OBE (21 June 1882 – 17 October 1974) was a New Zealand lawyer, politician, and cricket and rugby union player and administrator.

He excelled in a number of sports and Ongley Park in Palmerston North, used for cricket and rugby, is named for him.

[9] After his time in Wellington, he moved to Napier, where he was coached by Albert Trott and represented Hawke's Bay in two first-class matches in 1901–02.

[11] The New Zealand Prime Minister Richard Seddon, who was also Hokitika's member of parliament, sent Ongley a telegram of congratulations.

Noting Ongley's accuracy and his ability to turn the ball either way, the English batsman Pelham Warner suggested he be considered for the New Zealand team to play Lord Hawke's XI.

[12] He was selected for the South Island team against Lord Hawke's XI a few weeks later but bowled only six overs for one wicket.

He played in the first-ever match in the Hawke Cup in December 1910, bowling unchanged through both innings and taking 5 for 13 and 7 for 84 in Manawatu's victory over Wairarapa.

He was a fervent advocate for the interests of the Minor Associations of New Zealand cricket from 1923 until finally, in 1950–51, the Central Districts team was admitted to the Plunket Shield.

[28] On 26 March 1913, Ongley married Nora Crina Lynch at St Patrick's Church at Palmerston North.
