Arthur Tompson Michell (16 September 1852 – 13 August 1923) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Headington, Michell was the sixth born child of reverend Richard Michell and a brother of British duchess Mary Caroline Blair (wife of the 3rd Duke of Sutherland). He attended Rugby School and Oriel College, Oxford.[1]
Michell was a varsity sportsman and won a University Sculls championship as an oarsman. He had the most success in rugby, with three blues and captaincy honours. In 1875, Michell gained three England caps playing halfback.[2]
Ordained in 1879, Michell held several curacies and later served three decades as vicar of Sheriffhales.[3]
