Arthur Nieberding Fuller (24 October 1893 – 21 March 1987) was a long-serving member of the Australian House of Representatives.

Born in Gundagai to a goldminer and his wife, Fuller spent his childhood in the New South Wales goldfields. He later managed a clothing store in Cobar before moving to Tumut in 1919 to open a clothing store of his own.[1] In 1921, Fuller met and married Vera Hoad, with whom he had two daughters, and established a Labor Party branch in Tumut (for which he served as secretary until 1971).
