ArcGIS Server is a GIS software package made by ESRI to provide Web-oriented spatial data services.

ArcGIS Server supports software development on the .NET Framework and the Java (programming language). ArcGIS Server services can be consumed by web browsers, mobile devices and desktop systems. ArcGIS Server supports interoperability standards such as OGC and W3C.

ArcGIS Server is typically used by organizations that want to distribute their own GIS data. ArcWeb Services, another ESRI product, is typically used by organizations that want to use provided GIS data.

ArcGIS Server is part of a general trend in GIS development to abstract data delivery mechanisms from physical storage formats. In the services paradigm, services are consumed by applications through a specified interface.

The Open Geospatial Consortium has specified geographic services similar to those offered by ArcGIS Server.
