Arthur Ingram, 6th Viscount of Irvine (21 December 1689 – 30 May 1736), styled the Honourable Arthur Ingram until 1721, was a British landowner and politician.

Ingram was the third son of Arthur Ingram, 3rd Viscount of Irvine, by Isabella Machel, daughter of John Machel (or Machell), Member of Parliament for Horsham, of Hills, Sussex.[1] He was returned to Parliament for Horsham in 1715, a seat he held until 1721, when he succeeded his elder brother Rich in the viscountcy.[1][2] This was a Scottish peerage and did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords although he was forced to resign his seat in Parliament as Scottish peers were barred from sitting in the House of Commons. In 1728 he was made Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, which he remained until his death.[1]

Lord Irvine died unmarried in May 1736, aged 46, and was succeeded in the viscountcy by his younger brother, Henry.[1]
