Arthur Cox (7 December 1904 – 20 September 1977) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in five first-class matches for Canterbury from 1924 to 1927.[1][2]
In Cox's second first-class match, which began on Christmas Day 1925, he opened the batting and scored 204 in 280 minutes against Otago. It was only the second double-century in the Plunket Shield. Canterbury went on to make 495 and win by an innings and 28 runs.[3][4] Eyesight trouble ended his career during the 1927–28 season.[5]
