Sir Arnold Henry Moore Lunn (18 April 1888 – 2 June 1974) was a famous skier, mountaineer and writer. He was knighted for "services to British Skiing and Anglo-Swiss relations" in 1952.

He was born in Madras, India and died in London, England.

His father Sir Henry Simpson Lunn (1859–1939), was firstly a Methodist minister and later founder of Lunn's Travel agency (that would become Lunn Poly), which encouraged tourism in the Swiss Alps in the tradition of Thomas Cook's famous travel agency in the early 20th century. Arnold attended Harrow School, followed by Balliol College, Oxford, and while he was there, founded and was sometime President of the Oxford University Mountaineering Club.[

Introduced to skiing by his father, he became a renowned skier and invented the slalom skiing race in 1922. He was the founder of the Alpine Ski Club (1908) and the Kandahar Ski Club (1924), and was the organiser of some of the most prestigious ski races in the world. He initiated in collaboration with the Austrian skiing pioneer Hannes Schneider the famous Arlberg Kandahar Challenge Cup in honour of Lord Roberts of Kandahar. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment in the skiing field was the acceptance and introduction of the Downhill and Slalom races into the Olympic Games in 1936, although he opposed the Winter Olympic Games of that year being held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The double-black diamond trail named for Sir Arnold Lunn at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico serves as a fitting memorial. He was a long-standing member of the Committee of the International Ski Federation.
