Ernest Charles "Chuck" Arnason, born July 15, 1951, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey right wing who played 401 games over eight seasons in the National Hockey League. Born in Dauphin, Manitoba, and raised in Ashern, Manitoba, he led the MJHL in goal scoring in 1969 and went on to win the WCHL scoring championship in 1971, also pacing the league in goals and earning WCHL All-Star Team honours that year.

The Montreal Canadiens selected Arnason in the first round, seventh overall, of the 1971 NHL draft. On May 29, 1973, Montreal traded him to the Atlanta Flames for a 1974 first-round pick used to select Rick Chartraw. Over his NHL career he also suited up for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kansas City Scouts, Cleveland Barons, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota North Stars and Washington Capitals. He holds the distinction of being the first player in NHL history to play for five defunct teams.
