Arthur Connaught Jolley (November 29, 1911 – April 24, 1993) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Niagara Falls in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1953 to 1959.[1] He was a member of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.[1][2]

He was first elected in a by-election on October 26, 1953,[1] following the resignation of William Houck. He was then re-elected in the 1955 election.

Prior to his election to the legislature, Jolley was a partner with his brother Leonard in Jolley Construction.[3] He served four years in the Canadian Armed Forces, and served for four years on Niagara Falls City Council.[3] In his later years, he was co-host of a weekend program on CKTB devoted to music of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.[3]

Following his death in 1993, statements of tribute were delivered in the legislature by Shirley Coppen, Jim Bradley and Al McLean.[3]
