Arthur Ernest Schlichter (/ˈʃliːstər/, born April 25, 1960) is an American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons with the Colts franchise. He also played one Canadian Football League (CFL) season with the Ottawa Rough Riders and three Arena Football League (AFL) seasons with the Detroit Drive and Cincinnati Rockers. A highly touted college football prospect with the Ohio State Buckeyes, Schlichter's professional career was cut short by a gambling addiction that resulted in him facing legal trouble for nearly four decades.

Selected fourth overall in the 1982 NFL Draft by the Colts, Schlichter appeared in only thirteen games and six starts due to his gambling problems. He found greater success in the AFL, where he was named Most Valuable Player and led the Drive to victory in ArenaBowl IV during the 1990 season but was also forced out due to his addiction. Schlichter continued to face legal problems after the end of his football career, including serving a ten-year sentence on gambling-related theft charges between 2011 and 2021.
