    Arbeia was a Roman fort in South Shields, England, built around 160 AD as a supply base for Hadrian's Wall. Its coastal location allowed it to serve as a storage depot, with up to 22 granaries during Emperor Septimius Severus' campaign. It housed various units, including Gallic soldiers and Syrian boatmen, and may have derived its name from "place of the Arabs." The fort remained in use until the 5th century, underwent renovations, and today displays reconstructed sections that provide insight into the lives of Roman frontier soldiers.

It was first excavated in the 1870s and all modern buildings on the site were cleared in the 1970s. It is managed by Tyne and Wear Museums as Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum.
