Arthur Percy Frank Chapman (3 September 1900-16 September 1961) was an English cricketer who captained England to a then English-record-equalling seven consecutive test match wins, a record that was not surpassed until Michael Vaughan's team (with one game captained by Marcus Trescothick) won eight in a row in 2004.
Chapman played for Cambridge University, Kent and England.
Chapman was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1919.
