Arthur Thomas Sanders (21 December 1900 – 22 November 1920) played first-class cricket for Somerset in one match in the 1919 season. He was born and died at Westminster, London.

Sanders was educated at Harrow School and topped the batting averages in his last cricket season in the school team, 1918, when he made 216 runs as a middle-order batsman with a highest score of 57 not out. Wartime meant that the set-piece Eton v Harrow cricket match normally held at Lord's was not played, and Sanders did not do well in the two one-day school matches arranged in the 1918 season between Harrow and Eton College. He played in just one first-class match, batting at No 9 for Somerset in the match against Essex at Leyton and failing to score in his only innings in the match. His death barely a year later and before the age of 20 went unrecorded in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.
