Arkong Bato (lit. 'Stone Arch') is one of the constituent barangays in the city of Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Philippines.

The notable stone arch was built by the Americans in 1910, originally as a boundary marker between Rizal and Bulacan provinces, which Malabon and Valenzuela were once part of, respectively.
