Arthur "Dutch" Bergman (February 23, 1895 - August 18, 1972) was an American football head coach for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League during the 1943 NFL season. He was also the head coach of Catholic University's football team from 1930 to 1940. During his tenure, the Cardinals went 59-31-4, including an Orange Bowl championship in 1936 and a tie in the 1940 Sun Bowl. Bergman left the University when the sport was discontinued in 1941 because of World War II, later coaching the Washington Redskins to the 1943 NFL playoffs.

Bergman is still the winningest varsity football coach in Catholics' history and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 1982.
