Arthur Herman Bremer (born August 21, 1950) is an American man who was convicted for an assassination attempt on U.S. Democratic presidential candidate George Wallace on May 15, 1972 in Laurel, Maryland, leaving him paralyzed for life. He was found guilty and sentenced to 63 years (53 years after an appeal) in a Maryland prison for the shooting of Wallace and three bystanders.

After 35 years of incarceration, Bremer was released from prison on November 9, 2007.

Bremer was born in St Joseph's Hospital, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the third of four sons to William Bremer, who was a bread truck driver and Sylvia Bremer, a homemaker. He also had an elder sister, Gail. He was raised by his working-class parents on the South Side of Milwaukee , and lived in a dysfunctional household. He was alleged to have been abused by both parents, and in October 1968, Bremer stated "I would escape my ugly reality by pretending that I was living with a television family and there was no yelling at home or no one to hit me". In 1952, his mother allegedly slapped Arthur across the face repeatedly as he cried. She was rebuked by the children's court judge in Milwaukee for this offence.
