Trevor Arnott (16 February 1902 – 2 February 1975) was a Welsh cricketer who played first-class cricket as an amateur from 1921 to 1935.

Arnott was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Radyr, Glamorgan, and attended Monmouth School.[1] He captained Glamorgan County Cricket Club in 1928, but was not successful, the county winning only two of their 26 County Championship matches amid disharmony on and off the field.[1] [2]

During the 1928 season he hit his highest score, 153 against Essex.[3] He took his best bowling figures of 7 for 40 when Glamorgan beat the West Indian touring team in 1923.[4] He toured Jamaica with Lord Tennyson's team in 1926–27 and 1927–28.[5]

He is buried is in the churchyard at St Peter's Church, Dixton.[6]
