Arthur Pendleton Bagby (1794ndash September 21, 1858) was the Democratic Governor of the U.S. state of Alabama from 1837 to 1841. Born in Louisa County, Virginia in 1794, he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1819, practicing in Claiborne, Alabama. He was a member of the Alabama State House of Representatives in 1821, 1822, 1824, and 1834-1836, serving as the youngest-ever speaker in 1822 and 1836, and he served in the Alabama State Senate in 1825. He served in the U.S. Senate from November 21 1841, when he was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Clement C. Clay's resignation, to June 16 1848, when he resigned to become Minister to Russia from 1848 to 1849. During his time in the Senate, he was chairman of the Committee on Territories, the Committee on Claims, and the Committee on Indian Affairs. As a Senator, he supported the annexation of Texas. Bagby died in 1858 in Mobile, Alabama, and he is interred in Magnolia Cemetery there.

His son, Arthur P. Bagby, Jr., was a Confederate general in the Civil War. His first wife, Emily Steele of Georgia, died in 1825, and is buried in Claiborne, Alabama.
