Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Godfrey Peuchen (April 18, 1859 – December 7, 1929) was a Canadian businessman and military officer who was on board the RMS Titanic when it sank on its maiden voyage. He is notably the only male passenger allowed onto a lifeboat by Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who had asked someone to volunteer to row because of a shortage of seaman. Peuchen, a yachtsman, volunteered and climbed down a line into Lifeboat No. 6.
