Arthur William Seccull (14 September 1868 – 20 July 1945) was a cricketer who played one Test match for South Africa.[1]

An all-rounder, Seccull was a member of the first South African team to tour England in 1894, though no Tests or first-class matches were played. He scored 355 runs with a top score of 63 against Glamorgan, but took only four wickets.

Back in South Africa in 1895-96, he played in the Third Test at Cape Town against the England side under Lord Hawke, scoring 6 and 17 not out and taking two wickets for 37 runs.[2]

Seccull's provincial cricket in South Africa was mainly for Transvaal, though he also appeared for Kimberley and Western Province. His best first-class bowling figures were 6 for 48 in the second innings to help Western Province to an innings victory in the Currie Cup final against Natal in 1893-94.[3] His highest score was 64, the highest score in the match, to help Transvaal to victory over Western Province in the Currie Cup final a year later.[4]
