Sir Arnold Henry Moore Lunn (18 April 1888 – 2 June 1974) was a skier, mountaineer and writer. He was knighted for "services to British Skiing and Anglo-Swiss relations" in 1952. His father was a lay Methodist minister, but Lunn was an agnostic and wrote critically about Catholicism before he converted to that religion at the age of 45 and became an apologist. He was born in Madras, India and died in London aged 86.

(fr) Sir Arnold Lunn, född 18 april 1888 i Madras i Indien, död 2 juni 1974 i London i Storbritannien, var en engelsk slalomåkare, bergsbestigare och författare. Lunn uppfann 1922 den moderna slalomåkningen genom att introducera portar som de tävlande måste passera på kortast möjliga tid. Han tillbringade mycket tid i alperna och författade ett stort antal verk om slalomåkning, bergsbestigning och Schweiz. Efter att 1933 ha blivit katolik argumenterade Lunn i ett flertal böcker för Guds existens och för den kristna religionen. Han försvarade sina ståndpunkter i uppmärksammade debatter med flera högprofilerade ateister, bland andra evolutionsbiologen J. B. S. Haldane och filosofen . Författaren Evelyn Waugh har beskrivit Lunn som "sin generations flitigaste katolska apologet". (sv)
