Arthuret is a civil parish in the Carlisle district of Cumbria, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,434. The parish includes the village of Longtown and Easton. It is bounded by the River Esk to the west and the River Lyne to the south.

It was a site of some importance, for it was one of only eight places marked on the first printed map of Scotland made in 1570, produced by Abraham Ortelius. The other sites marked are Carlisle, Kirklinton, Jedburgh, Wark, Coldstream, Norham and Berwick (Logan Mack 1926).
