Arbigland is a coastal agricultural estate with holiday cottages in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It lies on the coast of the Solway Firth, to the south-east of Kirkbean. It is the birthplace of John Paul Jones, the United States' first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War. There is a birthplace museum in the cottage where he was born, donated by the Blackett family to the John Paul Jones Museum Trust in 1997.

The estate is best known for agricultural innovation stemming back to the agricultural revolution when farms were laid out by the agricultural improver William Craik. It is currently run as a regenerative dairy operation plus arable and part of the estate has been re-wilded.
