Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot (21 May, 1833 – 25 May, 1901) was a notable British Orientalist and translator.

He collaborated with Sir Richard Burton in Burton's translation of the "Kama Sutra of Vatsayana" (1833), and he wrote the books "Arabic Authors", "The Mysteries of Chronology", and "The Ananga Ranga". He edited "The Rauza-Us-Safa", or "Garden of Purity" by Muhammad Bin Khavendshah Bin Mahmud, Translation by E. Rehatsek. Fact|date=June 2007
