Arthur John Thornhill (3 April 1850 – 4 June 1930)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician from Diddington Hall, Buckden,[2] in Huntingdonshire.

Hicks was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridgeshire at a by-election in March 1884 following the elevation to the peerage of Henry Brand.[3] He held the seat until the constituency was divided by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.[4]

He was nominated as High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in 1889,[5] and nominated again in 1892[6] after which he was appointed to the office in 1893.[2]
