Arthur Mooney (14 December 1924 – 30 July 1988)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Mooney, who arrived at the club from the Richmond Recruits, was a half forward flanker.[2][3]

He was a member of the Richmond team which lost the 1944 VFL Grand Final.[4]

His 49 goals in the 1946 VFL season were enough to top Richmond's goal-kicking.[5]
