Pertempuran Arausio merupakan sebuah konflik yang berlangsung pada tanggal 6 Oktober 105 SM, di sekitar kota Arausio (yang sekarang Orange, Vaucluse) dan sungai Rhône. Suku-suku migrasi Cimbri di bawah Boiorix dan Teuton di bawah Teutobod merupakan dua pasukan Romawi, yang dipimpin oleh Prokonsul Quintus Servilius Caepio dan Consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus. Namun perbedaan besar di antara para komandan mencegah pasukan Romawi gagal bekerja sama dengan baik.
