Arthur Bersford Turner (24 August 1862 – 28 October 1910) was the second Bishop in Korea from 1905 until his death from blood poisoning five years later.
Born into an ecclesiastical family, he was educated at Marlborough College and Keble College, Oxford. After graduating, he studied for ordination at Ripon College Cuddesdon before curacies at Watlington, Oxfordshire and Downton, Wiltshire. After a further four years as senior curate at Newcastle Cathedral he went to Korea to be part of the USPG missionary team. For the next 14 years he was a devoted servant to the emergent Korean church. A noted cricketer, he died "whilst still at the height of his powers" from blood poisoning.
