Arrosès is a French commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of south-western France.
Arrosès is located some 50 km south-east of Hagetmau and some 5 km west of Madiran with the eastern border of the commune being the border between Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Hautes-Pyrénées departments. Access to the commune is by the D219 road from Aurions-Idernes in the west passing through the commune north of the village then continuing east to Madiran as the D66. The D292 comes from Aubous in the north passing through the commune and the village and continuing south to join the D139 south of Crouseilles. The commune is mostly farmland with patches of forest scattered throughout.
The commune is located in the Drainage basin of the Adour with several streams rising in the commune and flowing east to join the Saget which flows north to join the Adour near Saint-Mont and forming most of the eastern border of the commune. The Larcis forms most of the western border of the commune as it flows north to join the Lees.
The commune name in béarnais is Arrosés.
Michel Grosclaude proposed as its etymology the anthroponym Arrosés which was very common in the Pyrenees and the Iberian peninsula and well attested in the Middle Ages.
