Arthur Langley (né Longbottom; 30 January 1933 – 15 September 2023) was an English footballer. An inside-forward, he scored 118 goals in 360 league and cup appearances in an 11-year career in the bottom two divisions of the Football League. He changed his surname from Longbottom to Langley after he retired from football.
Longbottom spent 1954 to 1961 at Queens Park Rangers before he was sold on to Port Vale in May 1961 for a £2,000 fee. He was sold on to Millwall for another £2,000 in January 1963 before joining Oxford United in the summer. He transferred to Colchester United in October 1964 and then moved into non-League football with Scarborough in May 1965. Though he never won any honours and was never promoted, he finished as top-scorer in seasons at QPR, Port Vale, and Oxford United.
