The SEAT Arosa is a city car built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT between 1997 and 2005. It is essentially a badge-engineered version of the later VW Lupo, but sold at lower prices, competing with the likes of the Fiat Cinquecento/Seicento and the Ford Ka.

It features a hatchback body and seating for four. It is available with five engines: three petrols (the 1.0(50 hp), 1.4 (75 hp), and 1.4 Sport (100 hp)) and two diesels (the 1.7 SDI (60 hp) and the 1.9 TDI (75 hp)). The Arosa received its name from the municipality of Vilagarcía de Arousa in Galicia (Spain).

A cosmetically facelifted version arrived in 2001, featuring the new Seat family face.

The Arosa ceased production in 2005 without a direct successor.
