Arnold Ernest Townend (1880 – 18 December 1968) was Labour MP for Stockport, a two-member constituency, from 1925 to 1931, initially elected at a by-election.
Born in Salford, Townend became a railway clerk in 1896. He was a supporter of the Labour Party, and stood unsuccessfully in Manchester Blackley in 1918. He was also unsuccessful in Stockport in 1923 and 1924, but won a by-election in 1925, and held the seat in 1929. He lost his seat at the 1931 United Kingdom general election, and was also unsuccessful at Carlisle in 1935.[1]
Towend later relocated to Southport, where he served as mayor from 1955 to 1956.[1]
