"Little" Arthur King (February 23, 1927 — December 14, 2011) was a Canadian professional feather/light/welter/middleweight boxer of the 1940s and 1950s who won the Canadian lightweight title, and British Empire lightweight title. His professional fighting weight varied from 126 lb (57 kg; 9 st 0 lb), i.e. featherweight to 151+1⁄2 lb (68.7 kg; 10 st 11.5 lb), i.e. middleweight.
