Arthur Lacon Watson (27 August 1866 — 28 June 1955) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of The Reverend Arthur Watson, he was born on the Isle of Wight at Northwood in August 1866. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] after which he matriculated to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] In the same year that he matriculated, Watson made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Sussex at Southampton. While studying at Cambridge, he also made one first-class appearance for Cambridge University Cricket Club against Surrey at The Oval in 1888.[3] In his two first-class matches, he scored 26 runs with a high score of 22.[4] After graduating from Cambridge, Watson became an assistant master at Narborough in Leicestershire, before becoming a private tutor.[1] Watson died on the Isle of Wight at Wootton Bridge in June 1955.
