Arabianranta (Finnish) or Arabiastranden (Swedish) ("coast of Arabia") is a fast growing residential part of Helsinki, Finland. It is bound by Vanhankaupunginlahti bay from east, and connects to neighboring boroughs of Vanhakaupunki in north, Hermanni in south and Toukola and Kumpula in west. Officially it is part of the greater Toukola region.
Arabianranta (earlier known simply as Arabia) derives its name from the famous Arabia ceramics and glassware factory, which is located on Hämeentie street. The housing area is located on the bayside of Hämeentie.
On the other side of the bay lies a popular natural reserve, Viikki.
