Arthur Ritchie Berry (November 28, 1879—?) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1922 to 1936.
Berry was born in Owen Sound, Ontario. He worked as a farmer.
He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1922 provincial election, as a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM) in the Gilbert Plains constituency. The UFM unexpectedly won a majority of seats in this election, and formed government as the Progressive Party.
Berry was re-elected by a secure majority in the 1927 election. In 1932, the Progressives formed an alliance with the Manitoba Liberal Party, and government members became known as "Liberal-Progressives". Berry was re-elected under this banner in the 1932 campaign, defeating Conservative candidate H.A. Alley by 289 votes. He did not seek re-election in 1936.
Throughout his time in the legislature, Berry served as a backbench supporter of John Bracken's government.
