The Archaeological Museum of Arta is a museum in Arta, Greece. It was established in 1973 as the Archaeological collection of Arta, and has been housed in the Trapeza (dining room) of the 13th-century Paregoretissa church. It was established as a full museum in 2009.

The bulk of the collection are excavations from the ancient city of Ambracia, the "Koudounotrypa" cave, and several other sites in Arta Prefecture. Of note are numerous funerary stelae and burial offerings from cemeteries of ancient Ambracia.

The exhibition includes three main sections: the public life, the cemeteries, and the private life of Ambraciotes, whilst at the start and end of the exhibition there are individual smaller sections covering the birth and fall of Ambracia, respectively.
