The Scarpe is a river in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, left tributary of the Scheldt. It is approximately a hundred kilometers long, of which two thirds has been turned into canals.
The source of the river is at Berles-Monchel near Aubigny-en-Artois. It flows through the cities Arras, Douai and Saint-Amand-les-Eaux. The river ends at Mortagne-du-Nord where it flows into the Scheldt.
The river and its valley were important battlegrounds in the First World War.
Scarpe Mountain in Alberta, Canada was named after the river.
