Arthur Ernest (Tommy) Armstrong (1902–1980) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party. He was the son of Hubert Thomas (Timmy) Armstrong.

He represented the Napier electorate from the 1943 general election, when he defeated Bill Barnard who had left the Labour Party to join John A. Lee’s Democratic Labour Party. In 1951 he was defeated by National’s Peter Tait. He later (in the 1966 election) stood as an independent against Mabel Howard in the Sydenham seat.

He also served on the Christchurch City Council on two separate occasions (1929-1935, and 1962-1965)
