The Kingdom of Arles (French: Royaume d'Arles), also known as the Kingdom of Burgundy before the 12th century, the Kingdom of Arles-Burgundy, or in various contexts as Arlet, Arles and Vienne, or Burgundy-Provence, was a feudal monarchy in Europe established by the merger of the kingdoms of Upper and Lower Burgundy, under king Rudolph II in the year 933. It was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire in 1033 when it was inherited by Conrad II, becoming one of three constitutent kingdoms of the empire, along with the Kingdom of Germany and the Kingdom of Italy. The traditional territory of Arles stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the High Rhine River in the north, and east into western Switzerland.

With the conquest of the Arlet by the Holy Roman Empire, the French remnants of the kingdom were partitioned off into the Duchy of Burgundy, which was originally claimed by Robert II of France. The duchy would pass through a younger son of Robert's, Robert I, Duke of Burgundy. In 1432 the Duchy of Burgundy would pass into personal union with the Kingdom of Scotland, in what is nicknamed the Auvergnat Empire. Following the empire's collapse, Burgundy was at various points reunited with Arles under Queen Aline the Calm.
