Arnold Luhaäär (20 October 1905 – 19 January 1965) was an Estonian heavyweight weightlifter. He competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics and 1936 Summer Olympics and won a silver and a bronze medal, respectively. He missed the 1932 games because Estonia could not afford sending a full team to Los Angeles during the Great Depression.[1]

Besides his Olympic medals he placed third at the 1938 World Championships and set a world record in the clean and jerk in 1937.[2] After retiring from competitions he worked as a sports official and referee.
