Ricardo Arias Calderón is a Panamanian politician. During the rule of military leader Manuel Noriega, Arias was an opposition leader with the Civic Democratic Opposition Alliance, and in October 1989 was briefly arrested for urging citizens not to pay taxes to his government.

Following Noriega's fall in the US invasion of Panama, Arias was elected vice president of Panama under President Guillermo Endara, holding the office from 1989 to 1994.

Arias was a long-time opponent of the US presence in Panama before the December 31, 1999 handover of the Panama Canal to the Panama Canal Authority. In 2006, he supported a project to widen the canal, calling it "historical suicide" not to do so.
