The Cité internationale des arts is a nonprofit foundation, based in Paris, France, managing an artist-in-residence building complex. Its mission is to foster research and creative work by international contemporary artists in all disciplines: visual arts, music, performing arts, architecture, and writing.

Inaugurated in 1965, it comprises 326 studio apartments, spread across two sites, one in the Marais district and the other in Montmartre. It hosts approximately 1,000 artists each year, making it the largest artists' residence in the world.
