The Arc () is a river in the Savoie département of south-eastern France. It is a left tributary of the Isère, which it joins at Chamousset, approximately downstream from Albertville. Its source is near the border with Italy, in the Graian Alps, northeast of Bonneval-sur-Arc. The valley of the Arc, the Maurienne, is an important transport artery between France and Italy.
