Arnold Stearns Nesbitt (16 October 1878 – 7 November 1914) was an English first-class cricketer who played one match for Worcestershire against Middlesex at Lord's in 1914. His contribution to the game, which Worcestershire lost by an innings, was small: he made only one dismissal (that of Jack Hearne off the bowling of Robert Borrows), and scored 2 not out and 3 with the bat.

Nesbitt was born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. He was commissioned a Second lieutenant in the 3rd (Militia) Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment on 24 January 1900.[1] He was killed in action at Ploegsteert Wood, Belgium in the First World War, while serving as a captain in the Army. [2]
