Arthur Yeldard (c.1530–1599) was an English clergyman and academic, chosen as the first Fellow and second President of Trinity College, Oxford.
On 23 September 1559, after the deprivation of Slythurst on the accession of Elizabeth I after refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy Yeldard was selected by the foundress to be President.
Yeldard seems to have shown care and tact as President, husbanding the Durham College buildings, and averting any serious disasters at the visitations of 1560 to 1570.
He was instituted to the annexed rectory of Garsington (south of Oxford) in 1562, and also held the college living of Great Waltham, Essex, in 1572–4.
He was nominated Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford by Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester in July 1580, holding office for a year; and his name occurs on various university committees, such as those for the reception of Queen Elizabeth in 1566 and 1592, for a conference with Antonio del Corro in 1578, for the reception of Albert à Lasco in 1583, and for the reform of the statutes in 1576.
