Christian writer (lived c.196) This article is about the Christian writer. For the Roman senator with this name, see Gnaeus Claudius Severus Arabianus. For others, see Arabianus (disambiguation).

Arabianus (Ancient Greek: Ἀραβιανὸς, romanizedArabianos) was an eminent Christian writer who lived around 196. He composed some books on Christian doctrine, which are lost. Nothing more is known of him, and the writers who mention him, like Eusebius, do not even tell us the title of the work Arabianus wrote. Jerome says that he wrote "certain small works relating to Christian doctrine."
