Arthur Brooke (1772-1843) was a British soldier. He was a veteran of the wars against Napoleon, but is probably best remembered for his role in the War of 1812 against the United States. He acquitted himself well at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814. On September 12, 1814, his immediate commander, General Robert Ross, was killed as the army marched on Baltimore. Brooke found himself in overall command. He was met with a stronger American defense than he anticipated at Hampton Hill, and retreated after two days of fighting.
