James Arthur "Art" Monk (born December 5, 1957 in White Plains, New York) is a former American football wide receiver who played in the National Football League. Nicknamed "Quiet Man" or simply "#81" for his humble and professional demeanor, he attended college at Syracuse University where he played as a receiver and running back. The Washington Redskins drafted Monk in the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft and converted him to flanker, a position that he pioneered as a member of Coach Joe Gibbs' innovative offense.

Along with Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders, he was part of a prolific wide receiver trio nicknamed "The Posse," as they became the first trio of wide receivers in NFL history to post 1,000-plus yards in the same season (1989). At the end of his career, he played briefly for the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring as a Redskin. The NFL honored Monk by naming him to the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team.

With the Redskins, Monk played in Super Bowl XVIII, Super Bowl XXII and Super Bowl XXVI. In Super Bowl XXVI, he caught 7 passes for 113 yards. He also won a Super Bowl ring as a member of the team in Super Bowl XVII, but did not play in it due to injury. Monk finished his 16 NFL seasons with 940 receptions for 12,721 yards and 68 touchdowns, along with 332 rushing yards. Monk's most noteworthy NFL accomplishment was his record for career receptions (940), broken by Jerry Rice during the final week of 1995, Monk's last season in the league. Monk also became the first player in the league to catch a touchdown pass in 15 consecutive seasons.

On November 28 of 2007, Art Monk was once again selected as one of the 26 semi-finalists for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This number will be cut down to 15 finalists in mid-January of 2008. If selected, this will be Art Monk's eighth time.
