The Land of Arlon (Luxembourgish/German: Arelerland, Luxembourgish pronunciation: [ˈaːʀəlɐlɑnt], German: [ˈaːʁəlɐlant]; French: Pays d'Arlon, French pronunciation: [pe.i daʁlɔ̃]; Dutch: Land van Aarlen [ˌlɑnt fɑn ˈaːrlə(n)])[1] is the traditionally Luxembourgish-speaking part of Belgian Lorraine, which is now predominantly French-speaking. Arlon is the main city of this region.

The area has borders with the Gaume to the west and with the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg to the east. It lies to the south of the Ardennes. It coincides largely with the arrondissement of Arlon, part of the province of Luxembourg.
