Arthur Bernard Cook (1868–1952) was a British classical scholar, known for work in archaeology and the history of religions. He is best known for his three-part work Zeus: A Study in Ancient Religion. Cook is often considered one of the Cambridge Ritualists, and although he did not produce theoretical works, he has been called "perhaps the most typical disciple" of J.G. Frazer. His poem Windsor Castle won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for poetry at Cambridge.

From 1892-1907 he was professor of Greek at Bedford College, London. He became Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Cambridge in 1931, where he had held a position as Reader from 1908.
