'''Arthur John Lovett Darby''' (9 January 1876 in [Chester](/source/Chester) – 15 January 1960 in [Dartmouth, Devon](/source/Dartmouth%2C_Devon)) was a British [rugby union](/source/rugby_union) player who competed in the [1900 Summer Olympics](/source/1900_Summer_Olympics).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/17997 |title=Arthur Darby |work=Olympedia |accessdate=28 December 2020}}</ref>

Before representing Britain in the Olympics, Darby was selected to represent [England](/source/England_national_rugby_union_team) as part of the [1899 Home Nations Championship](/source/1899_Home_Nations_Championship) while playing club rugby for [Cambridge University](/source/Cambridge_University_R.U.F.C.). Darby played only one game for England in a period viewed as very poor for the national team. The next year Darby played for the British rugby union team, which won the silver medal.
