Arva is a small village located in Middlesex Centre, just north of the city of London, Ontario, Canada, at the intersection of Provincial Highway 4 (Richmond Street) and Medway Road (7th Concession).

Arva is the home of Medway High School, the Arva Flour Mill, and personalities such as Member of Parliament for London North Centre Joe Fontana.

During the emancipation of slaves from the United States, Arva was a critical rest stop, and home to several homes constructed as part of the underground railroad.
