Destruction Derby Arenas is a racing video game for the PlayStation 2. It was developed by Studio 33 and published by Gathering of Developers, and was released in 2004, being the fourth installment of the Destruction Derby series.

The game is notable for being one of the first PlayStation 2 games that had an online play feature. While it was the first title of the Destruction Derby series released for the console, the game was met with, overall, fairly low reception in comparison to its predecessors, due to its deviation of realism, no restart option in races, bad handling controls and reliance on a more cartoonish tone. It was therefore the last game of the Destruction Derby series, but the car crashing genre still continued with the likes of FlatOut.
