Arthur Currie, född 5 december 1875, död 30 november 1933, var en kanadensisk general. Currie deltog under första världskriget vid slaget vid Ypern år 1915 och förde befäl över en division vid slaget vid Somme år 1916. Han fick beröm för insatserna vid Vimyåsen år 1917, en viktig kanadensisk seger, vid vilken artilleri och infanteri samverkade. Han blev inför tredje slaget vid Ypern hösten 1917 befälhavare över hela den kanadensiska armékåren. Genom noggranna planer undvek Currie onödiga dödsoffer och han ifrågasatte order uppifrån.

General Sir Arthur William Currie, GCMG, KCB (5 December 1875 – 30 November 1933) was a senior officer of the Canadian Army who fought during World War I. He had the unique distinction of starting his military career on the very bottom rung as a pre-war militia gunner before rising through the ranks to become the first Canadian commander of the Canadian Corps. Currie's success was based on his ability to rapidly adapt brigade tactics to the exigencies of trench warfare, using set piece operations and bite-and-hold tactics. He is generally considered to be among the most capable commanders of the Western Front, and one of the finest commanders in Canadian military history.

Currie's success was based on his ability to rapidly adapt brigade tactics to the exigencies of trench warfare, using set piece operations and bite-and-hold tactics. He is generally considered to be among the most capable commanders of the Western Front, and one of the finest commanders in Canadian military history. Currie began his military career in 1897 as a part-time soldier in the Canadian militia while making his living as a teacher and later as an insurance salesman and real estate speculator. Currie rose quickly through the ranks: commissioned as an officer in 1900, promoted to captain in 1901, then major in 1906 and became an artillery regimental commander in 1909. In 1913 Currie accepted the command of the newly created 50th Regiment Gordon Highlanders of Canada. Finding himself in debt following a real estate crash in Victoria, Currie embezzled ten thousand dollars earmarked for regimental uniforms into his personal accounts to pay off his debts. When the First World War broke out Canadian Minister of Militia Sam Hughes appointed Currie as commander of the 2nd Canadian Brigade. Following the Second Battle of Ypres Currie was promoted to major-general and commander of the 1st Canadian Division. Following the Battle of Vimy Ridge, Canadian Corps commander Julian Byng was promoted to general and Currie, the 1st Canadian Division commander, was promoted to lieutenant-general and assumed command of the Canadian Corps. Upon returning to Canada, Currie was promoted to general and was made Inspector General of the Canadian Army. Although he had only a high school diploma, Currie became the principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University in 1920, holding this post until his death in 1933.

Currie wordt vaak tegenover generaal Douglas Haig gezet, de Britse commandant die alle eenheden van het Britse Rijk onder zich had staan. Haig zond golven van duizenden soldaten naar een bijna zekere dood in de strijd, terwijl Currie probeerde om zo min mogelijk slachtoffers te maken. Arthur Currie ontving de Amerikaanse Army Distinguished Service Medal.

Ele começou sua carreira como membro de uma milícia e foi subindo as patentes até chegar ao posto de comando de quatro divisões do Corpo Canadense da Força Expedicionária do seu país na Europa. Ele se tornou o primeiro canadense a ascender a patente de general de uma tropa colonial ligada ao Exército Britânico. Diferente de outros comandantes velhos que não se adaptaram as realidades de uma guerra moderna, Currie teve sucesso em empregar novas táticas as suas brigadas, adaptando elas as exigências da guerra de trincheiras, usando operações pontuais e outras artimanhas. Ele é geralmente considerado um dos melhores generais no Frente Ocidental da Primeira Grande Guerra e um dos mais competentes comandantes da história das forças armadas canadenses. Currie era um dos poucos oficiais que não tinha medo de discordar ou questionar ordens e estratégias que vinham dos seus superiores, as vezes vindas direto do Alto-comando britânico. Os ingleses não estavam acostumados a serem confrontados por oficiais das colônias, mas Currie conseguiu respeito dos seus superiores e as vezes o comandante da Força Expedicionária Britânica, o marechal Douglas Haig, acatava suas sugestões e até mudava planos de batalha inteiros por causa das opiniões de Arthur. Uma das principais objeções de Currie era o custo desnecessário em vidas para vencer ou simplesmente travar algumas batalhas, sendo que estas não traziam um valor estratégico grande o bastante para justificar as perdas. Ele afirmava que os outros generais viam a vida dos seus soldados como "descartáveis", sendo que já ele era mais conhecido por prezar muito pela vida dos seus homens e por isso ganhou a admiração de seus comandados. O primeiro-ministro inglês David Lloyd George afirmou em sua biografia que se a guerra tivesse seguido até 1919, ele teria substituído o marechal Haig por Arthur Currie no comando das forças britânicas na Europa e também colocaria um general australiano, John Monash, para ser chefe do Estado-Maior sob Currie. Após o conflito, entrou para a vida acadêmica mas enfrentou dificuldades financeiras. Quando morreu, recebeu um funeral com todas as honras militares e é saudado até hoje como um dos maiores generais da história militar do Canadá.
