Arnold U. Gamson (December 30, 1926 – January 17, 2018) was an American conductor who was particularly known for his work within the field of opera.
He notably co-founded and served as the Music Director and principal conductor of the American Opera Society from 1950–1960.
His work with the AOS was highly influential in sparking and perpetuating the post-World War II bel canto revival, particularly through a number of highly lauded productions of rarely heard works by Gioachino Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini.

In 1961 Gamson left the AOS and moved with his wife to Europe, working actively as an opera conductor in theaters in Italy for two of years.
