Arles or Arless (historically Ardlisse, from {{Irish place name|Ard Lios|high ringfort}})[http://www.logainm.ie/107001.aspx Placenames Database of Ireland] (see archival records) is a village in County Laois, Ireland. It lies {{convert|2|km|1}} northwest of Ballickmoyler and {{convert|10|km|0|abbr=on}} northwest of Carlow, on the N80 national secondary road.

Located close to Carlow, the village has expanded in size since its foundation, when it comprised just a few houses around the church. The church was built in the 1680s (according to an inscription on a stone in the wall) and originally had a thatched roof. A mausoleum to the Grace family was built in the churchyard in 1818.{{cite web
