Arthur MacArthur Jr. (June 2, 1845 – September 5, 1912) was a lieutenant general of the United States Army. He became the military Governor-General of the American-occupied Philippines in 1900; his term ended a year later due to clashes with the civilian governor, future-U.S. President William Howard Taft.

This earned MacArthur a promotion and an eventual Medal of Honor. It was Major MacArthur, now only nineteen years old, who led the 24th at the Battle of Franklin.
