Sir Arthur William Blomfield (6 March 1829 _30 October 1899), English architect, son of Bishop C. J. Blomfield, was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge.

He was then articled as an architect to P. C. Hardwick, and subsequently obtained a large practice on his own account. He became president of the [[Architectural Association] in 1861, and a fellow (1867) and vice-president (1886) of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 1887 he became architect to the Bank of England, and designed the law courts branch in Fleet Street, and he was associated with A. E. Street in the building of the law courts. In 1889 he was knighted.

He was twice married, and brought up two sons, Charles J. Blomfield and Arthur Conran Blomfield, to his own profession, of which they became distinguished representatives. Among the numerous churches which Sir Arthur Blomfield designed, his work at St Saviour's, Southwark, is a notable example of his use of revived Gothic, and he was highly regarded as a restorer.
