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.

Onder zijn leiderschap won de Canadese strijdmacht een lange reeks van veldslagen, vechtend als een onafhankelijke nationale eenheid, dit voor het eerst in een grote oorlog.

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.
