Arvieu (Occitan: Arviu) is a French commune in the Aveyron department in the Occitanie region of southern France.
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Arvieunois or Arvieunoises.
Arvieu is located some 23 km south by south-east of Rodez and 7 km north of Alrance. Access to the commune is by the D56 road from Pont-de-Salars in the north-east passing through the commune and the village and continuing south to Durenque.

The commune is entirely farmland except for some small patches of forest.
The eastern border of the commune is the Lac de Pareloup. The Céor river rises in the east of the commune and flows west through the village then south forming part of the western border before continuing west to join the Viaur at Saint-Just-sur-Viaur. The Ruisseau de Glauzeilles rises in the north of the commune flowing west then south-west, forming the north-eastern border of the commune, to join the Céor.
