Arthur Jepson (12 July 1915 – 17 July 1997) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire before becoming an umpire. In addition to cricket he was also an accomplished football goalkeeper who played over 100 games in the Football League before turning his hand to management.
A right-arm fast-medium bowler for Nottinghamshire between 1938 and 1959, Jepson took 1,050 first-class wickets, becoming one of the ten most prolific bowlers in the club's history. He then spent 26 years as an umpire, presiding over four Test matches.
In his footballing career, he played for non-League sides Newark Town, Mansfield Town, and Grantham Town, before playing for Port Vale either side of World War II. He spent 1946 to 1948 in the top flight with Stoke City before winding down his career following a two-year stint with Lincoln City. He later turned out for non-League sides Northwich Victoria and Gloucester City, and also briefly managed Long Eaton United and Hinckley United.
