अरुणाचल प्रदेश ('अरुणांचल' नहीं) भारत का एक उत्तर पूर्वी राज्य है। अरुणाचल का अर्थ हिन्दी मे "उगते सूर्य का पर्वत" है (अरूण + अचल ; 'अचल' का अर्थ 'न चलने वाला' = पर्वत होता है।)।
प्रदेश की सीमाएँ दक्षिण में असम दक्षिणपूर्व मे नागालैंड पूर्व मे बर्मा/म्यांमार पश्चिम मे भूटान और उत्तर मे तिब्बत से मिलती हैं। ईटानगर राज्य की राजधानी है। प्रदेश की बोलचाल की मुख्य भाषा हिन्दी है।
