Arthur Herbert Copeland (June 22, 1898 Rochester, New York – July 6, 1970) was an American mathematician. He graduated from Harvard University in 1926[1] and taught at Rice University and the University of Michigan. His main interest was in the foundations of probability.[2][3]

He worked with Paul Erdős on the Copeland-Erdős constant. His son, Arthur Herbert Copeland, Jr. (1926-2019), was also a mathematician.[4]

Copeland published a paper about pairwise voting, which was very similar to the work of Ramon Llull and Marquis de Condorcet. The system he described became known as "Copeland's method".
