Arthur Edward Fagg (June 18, 1915 in Chartham, KentSeptember 13, 1977 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent) was a cricketer who played for Kent and England.

A right-handed opening batsman who first played for Kent at the age of 17, Fagg was a Test match player at 21 against India in 1936. But he caught rheumatic fever on the tour of Australia the following winter, and missed the whole of the 1937 season.

The evidence was strong in 1938 that Fagg was back to his best form, and he set a world record that has not so far been equalled playing for Kent against Essex at Colchester, scoring 244 in the first innings and an undefeated 202 in the second innings. But 1938 was a year of record-breaking and the young Leonard Hutton cemented his place as England's first choice opener with his 364 against the Australians at The Oval.

Fagg played only one more Test, though he remained a consistent scorer in county cricket until the mid 1950s. In all, he scored 58 centuries and more than 25,000 runs.

After retirement, he became a well-known cricket umpire, officiating in 18 Test matches and 7 one day Internationals. He created a sensation at Edgbaston in 1973 by refusing to take the field after the West Indies team disputed one of his decisions.
