Arcadia or Arkadía (Greek Αρκαδία) is a region of Greece in the Peloponnesus. It takes its name from the mythological character Arcas.
Arcadia has its present-day capital at Tripoli. It forms the largest peripheral unit on the Peloponnesian peninsula. It currently covers about 18% of the entire peninsula, although it once extended to about 20 to 25% of the peninsula.

The peripheral unit has a skiing resort on Mount Maenalus, the Mainalon, located about 20 km NW of Tripoli. The other mountains include Parnon in the southeast, Artemisio, Saita, Skiathio, Lykaia, and Tsiberou.
