Arlington Nelson Lindenmuth (A. N. Lindenmuth) (1856-1950) was an American landscape and portrait painter who lived and painted in Allentown. He was a member of the Baum Circle, the group of artists either taught by, associated with, or directly influenced by Pennsylvania impressionist painter Walter Emerson Baum.

Born in Hamburg, Lindenmuth was also one of the earliest professional photographers in Allentown, opening a successful photography studio in 1891, located at 24 North Sixth Street, directly across the street from the Lyric Theatre. As early as 1882, he was also employed as a traveling sales representative for Eastman Kodak. His paintings were exhibited in New York City and Philadelphia, and his murals can be seen in Allentown's Phoebe Retirement Home, Cathedral of Saint Catharine of Siena and Asbury Methodist Church. Lindenmuth would later teach painting to students, out of his photography studio.

In 1912, Lindenmuth also put forth a proposal for the establishment of the Allentown Art Museum. He became adept at the public promotion of the arts, both through local newspapers and his well-trafficked photography studio. The Fine Arts Club of the Lehigh Valley held their first exhibition in Lindenmuth's studio in 1922, and Walter Emerson Baum included his paintings in these exhibitions starting in 1923.

Lindenmuth passed in Allentown in 1950.
