Arab is an unincorporated community in southern Bollinger County, Missouri. It is located about twenty miles northwest of Dexter. The community was founded in 1908, and the origin of its name is unknown. The community was probably initially founded for the purposes of postal delivery with the mail gathered twice a week from Zalma and delivered to Arab by horseback. Arab is located along Route 51 at the intersection of State Highway C which runs east to Advance and State Highway P which runs west towards Lowndes and Greenville. Arab is a rural community located near the intersection of Bollinger County, Stoddard County, and Wayne County. Arab was originally located in Wayne County. In 1943, the post office and community were moved four miles away to extreme southern Bollinger County.

In 2000 the population of Arab was 7, all members of the same family.
