Arthur Quintal (6 May 1795 – 19 November 1873) was a Pitcairn Islander who served as the island's second magistrate, in 1840/1841.
Quintal was the son of Matthew Quintal, the bounty mutineer, and his wife Tevarua.
The elder Quintal was killed with a hatchet in 1799.
Arthur appears to have inherited some of his father's bad temper; he allegedly treated his sister Jane 'so harshly' she left the island and never returned.
Quintal also allegedly made a pact with his best friend Daniel McCoy, to take each other's sister as a wife.
Quintal married Catherine McCoy, and they had 9 children, including Arthur Quintal II, who also became magistrate.
After Catherine's death in 1831, Arthur married Mary Christian and had a further 5 children.
He succeeded his half brother as magistrate, and was succeeded by his brother-in-law.
Quintal died on Norfolk Island in 1873.
