An arrondissement (French pronunciation: ​[aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃]) is a level of administrative division in France.

As of 2016^[update], the 101 French departments were divided into 334 arrondissements (including 12 overseas).

The capital of an arrondissement is called a subprefecture. When an arrondissement contains the prefecture (capital) of the department, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture.

Arrondissements are further divided into cantons and communes.
