Sir Arthur Munro Sutherland, 1st Baronet, KBE, DL, JP (2 October 1867 – 29 March 1953), of Hethpool House, Kirknewton, Northumberland, was an English shipowner and philanthropist.

He left to open a steamer department in his father's firm, later turning it into a successful cargo shipping business, B. J. Sutherland & Co.

[3] He was also a Justice of the Peace for the city for many years and chairman of the governors of his old school, to which he donated considerable sums of money.

In 1943 Sutherland, then a director of the Blyth Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company, was charged alongside his friend and neighbour, Newcastle Alderman Robert Stanley Dalgleish, managing director of the company, with conspiring to bribe Admiralty official Charles James Butt.

After a five-day trial at Leeds, Sutherland was found not guilty; Dalgleish and Butt were convicted and jailed.
