MacArthur or Macarthur may refer to:
Macarthur is a region in south-west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The region includes the local government areas of the City of Campbelltown, Camden Council and Wollondilly Shire. It covers an area of 3,067 square kilometres and has a population of close to 240,000 residents. The region geographically forms the foothills between the Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands regions.
The region is bounded at the north by Glenfield (45 km south-west of Sydney CBD) and Warragamba (65 km west from the Sydney CBD); at the south by Yanderra (95 km south-west from Sydney CBD) and Buxton; at the east by the town of Appin; and at the west by the hamlet Nattai.
Most of the area is taken up by the semi- rural Wollondilly Shire; most of the population lives within the satellite city of Campbelltown and its surrounding suburbs.
The region is one of the fastest-growing regions in the Sydney metropolitan area, with many new modern suburbs sprouting up in recent decades such as Glen Alpine, Macquarie Links, Harrington Park, Blair Athol, Mount Annan, Currans Hill, Englorie Park, Nangarin Estate and Bingara Gorge.
MacArthur is a 1977 American biographical war film directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Gregory Peck in the eponymous role as American General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.
Macarthur or the Red Book is a 2007 novel by Filipino author Bob Ong. It is the sixth published work from Ong. As with all Bob Ong's published novels, it is notable for its use of contemporary street Filipino words. It is also notable for its departure from the usual Bob Ong formula of using humor to comment on the various ironies of Filipino culture. Instead, it offers a gritty, realistic look at life in a Philippine slum community.
The title is derived from a slang term for difficult-to-flush faeces — a reference to Douglas MacArthur's famous promise, "I shall return". The cover's background, mostly obscured by the bold typeset of the title and by the red color, depicts a toilet bowl.
