Commune in Grand Est, France

Arcis sur Aube (aʁsi syʁ ob, literally Arcis on Aube) is a commune in the Aube department in the Grand Est region of north central France. The commune has been awarded "three flowers" by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.

Arcis sur Aube is located some 27 km north of Troyes and 40 km east of Romilly sur Seine. Access to the commune is by the D441 road from Villette sur Aube in the west passing through the commune and the town and continuing to Vaupoisson. The D677 also comes from Mailly le Camp in the north intersecting the D441 in the town and continuing south to Voué. The D31 also goes south west from the town to Les Grandes Chapelles. The D10 road comes from Allibaudières in the north west and passes through the north west of the commune joining the D441 west of the town. A railway passes through the west of the commune from north to south with a station west of the town. The Aube river marks the northern boundary of the town flowing west but the commune covers both left and right banks of the river. The D677 passes over the river on a bridge. The right bank and a small portion of the left bank of the Aube consists of forest and farmland. The urban area of the town extends south from the left bank and occupies about a quarter of the land area. The south of the commune is entirely farmland.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Arcisiens or Arcisiennes in French.

Honoré de Balzac made Arcis sur Aube part of his novel Le Député d'Arcis (The Member for Arcis), left unfinished at his death and completed by Charles Rabbou. Arcis sur Aube was also the place of action in Une ténébreuse affaire (A murky affair) written in 1844.
