The Memorial Circle arch or Independence Arch is a triumphal arch proposed by Donald Trump in 2025 that would be located on Columbia Island in Washington, D.C. The 250 feet (75 meters) tall arch would celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence.

The site is Memorial Circle, a traffic circle on Memorial Drive between the end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge and Arlington National Cemetery. It is directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial at the west end of the National Mall.

The arch has been referred to by some media as the "Arc de Trump" (a play on "Arc de Triomphe").
