Arthur Francis Deibel (April 3, 1896 – April 23, 1984) was a professional football player who spent a year in the National Football League (NFL) with the Canton Bulldogs in 1926. Prior to joining the NFL, Deibel played and was the captain of the Millville Football & Athletic Club, a successful independent club from New Jersey that was headed up by Guy Chamberlin. After a highly successful 1925 season, the Big Blue played a series of pick-up games against Red Grange and the Tampa Cardinals in Florida. The Big Blue won the series with a record of 3–0–1.[1] Deibel played college football at Lafayette College. He was named captain of the 1923 Lafayette football team.[2]

Deibel died on April 23, 1984, at Doctors Hospital in Massillon, Ohio.[3]
