Harry Nicholas Arter (born 28 December 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a central or defensive midfielder.

He began his career at Charlton Athletic, progressing through the club's youth academy before making his professional debut in 2007.

After one season at Woking, he returned to The Football League with Bournemouth, becoming a first team regular following a loan to Carlisle United in 2011. He contributed to Bournemouth's promotion to the Championship in 2013, and to the Premier League two years later.

Born and raised in England, Arter represents the Republic of Ireland internationally. He played for the nation at under-17 and under-19 level, and made his senior debut in June 2015.
