Arnold Bruggink (born 24 July 1977) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

Born in Almelo, Overijssel, Bruggink started his professional career at FC Twente, where he became the club's leading goalscorer in the 1995–96 season.

He joined PSV Eindhoven in 1997, winning the Dutch Talent of the Year award in 2000. He also won three league titles and two Supercups with the club, as well as appearing in the UEFA Champions League.

After six seasons in Eindhoven, he moved to Spanish club RCD Mallorca in 2003, where he played in the UEFA Cup.

Bruggink moved back to his homeland after just one season joining SC Heerenveen. He spent two seasons playing for them in the Eredivisie and in two successive UEFA Cup campaigns, before again heading abroad when he joined German side Hannover 96 in 2006. He left the club after his contract was not renewed at the end of the 2009–10 season.

He rejoined Twente, only to finish his career after one season.

Bruggink played 31 times for the Dutch U-21 national team, which equals a record with Roy Makaay. He made two appearances for the Dutch national team in 2000, a 2002 World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland on 2 September and a friendly against Spain on 15 November.

Bruggink currently works as a pundit and color commentator for several TV stations in the Netherlands and Germany.
