Art Wall, Jr (born November 25 1923 in Honesdale, Pennsylvania; died Scranton, Pennsylvania, October 31 2001) was an American golfer. He attended Duke University, graduating in 1949 with a business degree.

Wall won fourteen titles on the PGA Tour, including four in 1959. That year he was chosen as the PGA Player of the Year, and he also won the money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. But his most notable achievement of all in 1959 was his victory at the Masters Tournament, which was his only career win in a major championship. On the Sunday he birdied five of his last six holes to shoot a 66 and overhaul Cary Middlecoff and defending champion Arnold Palmer.

Wall was a member of three United States Ryder Cup teams. He died of respiratory failure at the age of seventy seven.
