Arthur Mesac Knight (9 July 1864 – 4 October 1939) was the third Bishop of Rangoon from 1903 to 1909.

He was educated at Rossall and Pembroke College, Cambridge. Ordained in 1890, he was initially a Curate at St Andrew's, Bishop Auckland before becoming Fellow and Dean of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and a Lecturer in Divinity at the university.

He was appointed to the episcopate in December 1902, based on the recommendation of the Secretary of State for India. Taking up the position early in 1903, he only served for six years, afterwards becoming Warden of St Augustine's Missionary College, Canterbury. From 1928, his last posts were as Rector of Lyminge (until 1935) and Assistant Bishop of Canterbury (until his death).
