**Arthur Chilcott** (born 26 February 1963) is a former [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played with the [Sydney Swans](/source/Sydney_Swans) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Victorian_Football_League_(1897%E2%80%931989)) (VFL).

Chilcott was recruited from Sydney club [Western Suburbs](/source/Western_Suburbs_Magpies_AFC), but came from the [Illawarra](/source/Illawarra) and was the first person from that region to play league football.[1][2] While at Western Suburbs he twice finished equal third in the [Phelan Medal](/source/Phelan_Medal), in 1982 and 1983.[3]

Debuting in the [1984 VFL season](/source/1984_VFL_season), Chilcott appeared in 11 of the first 14 rounds, before being forced out of the side with injury.[4][5] He kicked four goals in Sydney's round four win over [Collingwood](/source/Collingwood_Football_Club).[4][6] The following year he made two league appearances.[4] He left the Swans in 1986 to play rugby league for the Balmain Tigers.

He later played for the Bateman's Bay Seahawks in the [Australian Capital Territory Football League](/source/AFL_Canberra).[7]
