Arts-Loi (French, pronounced [aʁ lwa]) or Kunst-Wet (Dutch, pronounced [kʏnst ʋɛt]) is a Brussels Metro station on lines 1, 2, 5 and 6. It is located in the City of Brussels, Belgium, under the intersection of the Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat (lit. 'Law Street') and the Avenue des Arts/Kunstlaan (lit. 'Art Avenue'), after which it is named, the latter street being part of the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road).

The station's lower level opened on 17 December 1969, under the name Arts/Kunst, as a premetro (underground tram) station on the tram line between De Brouckère and Schuman. Its name was changed to its current form in 1971. This station was upgraded to full metro status on 20 September 1976, serving former east–west line 1 (further split in 1982 into former lines 1A and 1B). The station was extended on 2 October 1988 with the opening of the line 2 station, located on the upper level. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by lines 1, 2, 5 and 6.
