The controversial term "Arabian Gulf", the subject of the Persian Gulf naming dispute, may refer to the:
- Persian Gulf, the internationally recognized name.
- Red Sea, an older name rarely used by some European nations until the nineteenth century.
Since the 1960s, starting with Gamal Abdel Nasser and the proponents of pan-Arabism, Arab states have often used the name Arabian Gulf for the body commonly known as the Persian Gulf, even in their English publications. This is very controversial, and not commonly used outside of the Arab world, nor is it recognized by the United Nations and other international organizations.
The Gulf of Aden is also an Arabian gulf, but is not known as the Arabian Gulf.
