Arvidsjaur is a locality (pop. 4,600) in Lapland, Sweden and the seat of Arvidsjaur Municipality, Norrbotten County.

If things go according to plan, Arvidsjaur will be the site of the front legs of the world's largest moose – Stoorn – a tourist attraction planned to be built spanning from Arvidsjaur into Skellefteå in Västerbotten.
