The Right Reverend Arthur Chandler, DD, MA (25 March 1858 – 5 November 1939) was Bishop of Bloemfontein[1] from 1902[2] until 1920.

Born in 1860, he was the son of the Rev. J. Chandler of St Leonards-on-Sea and was educated at Marlborough and University College, Oxford,[3] and ordained in 1883.[4] He began his career as Chaplain to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was also tutor and elected a Fellow. Later, he was chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury. He was Rector of Poplar from 1891 until late 1901 when he was appointed to the Episcopate.[5] He was enthroned in the Cathedral, Cape Town on 2 February 1902,[6] and arrived at his see shortly thereafter.

In November 1901 he received the honorary degree Doctor of Divinity (DD) from the University of Oxford.[7]

In 1934 he was President of the Church Union.[8] Chandler retired to Petersfield, where he died on 5 November 1939.[9]
