Arno Kamminga (born 22 October 1995) is a Dutch swimmer. He won silver medals in the 100 metre breaststroke and 200 metre breaststroke events at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]

He made his international debut in the men's 50 metre breaststroke event at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships.[2][3] Kamminga is a two times world silver medaillist (2022, 2023) in the 100 metre breaststroke and won several other medals at the World and European Championships (long course and short course),

While competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics, Kamminga generated controversy by wearing multicolor swim trunks that gave the appearance of being partially see-through in some areas.[4] Due to an injury he withdrew for the semi-finals in the 200 metre breaststroke.
