Arthur Kitinas is a former Australian rugby league player in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition.

A hooker, Kitinas came through the lower grades at Sydney's Eastern Suburbs club playing in just 1 top grade match in 1977 before joining the South Sydney Rabbitohs the following season. The established hookers at the South Sydney club, Test player George Piggins along with Ken Stewart, saw the promising young Kitinas play very little 1st grade at that club either.

Kitinas spent time as an assistant coach at South Sydney before an unsuccessful stint in the main job in 2004, as a replacement for Paul Langmack.[1]

Kitinas joined the Wests Tigers coaching team in 2006 and currently coaches the Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Premier League team. In 2006 and 2007 he also coached of the Fiji national rugby league team.[2] Kitinas now coaches the South Sydney Rabbitohs SG Ball team
