Old Arley is a small, traditional village in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland on the fringe of the West Midlands conurbation. It is the older settlement in the local parish and contrasts with the nearby 20th‑century colliery village of New Arley, so the lanes and cottages have a distinctly rural, historic character despite relatively easy access to larger towns.

The village has long agricultural roots but was shaped in the 20th century by the coal industry nearby - most notably the former Daw Mill colliery - and today tends to be a mix of local community life and commuter households. Visitors and residents alike note the surviving traditional buildings, parish atmosphere and occasional village events that keep a strong sense of place.
