Arthur Hando (6 June 1891 – 14 February 1949) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the South Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Recruited from Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Brunswick, Hando made his senior VFL debut in 1922. He was once reported for shaking the goalpost while Cliff Rankin was preparing to shoot for goal.

Following the end of his VFL career, Hando captain-coached Bendigo Football League (BFL) club South Bendigo, leading them to the 1925 premiership.[2]
