Slaget ved Arras var en konfrontation mellem tyske tropper i forsvar på den ene side og britisk-canadiske tropper på den anden side ved den nordfranske by Arras. Bortset fra det canadiske succes ved Vimy var angrebet en fiasko.
Den 9. april 1917, anden påskedag, kom infanteriet ud fra saps. Soldaterne rykkede 50 meter frem bag et effektivt krydsild. Giftgas- og høje eksplosiver blev brugt vekselvis for at forårsage så megen skade som muligt på de tyske forsvarsværker.
På trods af at briterne havde lært meget af den katastrofale 1. juli 1916, begyndelsen på Slaget ved Somme, gik der også her forud for slaget en fem dage lang artilleribombardement. Derfor var infanteriangrebet ikke længere en overraskelse for tyskerne.
