Arthur "Art" Joseph Giroux (June 6, 1908 in Quebec City, Quebec, – November 6 1974 Calgary, Alberta) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 3 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins. Giroux was included on Detroit's 1936 team picture, but left off the cup. He spent most of that season in minors, and did not play in the NHL during the playoffs.
He turned pro in 1926-27 with the Saskatoon Sheiks of the Prairie Hockey League. In 1932-33 he played a full season with the Montreal Canadiens but returned to the minors the following season. He saw some action with the Boston Bruins in 1934-35 and the Detroit Red Wings in 1935-36.
After 1936 Giroux spent the rest of his career in the American Hockey League. He won the Calder Cup with the Providence Reds in 1938 and 1940.
