Capt. Arthur Fancy was a fictional character in the television series NYPD Blue. He was played by James McDaniel for from the season 1 to season 8.

Fancy, an African American, was able to rise through NYPD ranks at a very rapid speed. Fancy was one of the characters who most influenced Andy Sipowicz, changing his once openly racist views. The two clashed many times throughout the early years, but eventually they grew to admire each other's talents.

Fancy was married with two daughters and a son.

After spending nine years with the 1-5, he decided to move on to his next assignment, but his influence upon the detectives did not end there. When an extremely unpopular lieutenant was transferred in as his replacement, Fancy called in one last favor for his detectives and had the boss-to-be transferred out. His influence on Sipowicz continued to be great, and this was one of the major character-building aspects of the detective's career.

His replacement was Lt. Tony Rodriguez.
