In architecture, a transverse arch is an arch in a vaulted building that goes across the barrel vault. A series of transverse arches sitting on tops of the columns on the sides of the nave was typical in the churches of Romanesque architecture. By analogy, the term is also used to describe the transverse ribs of a groined vault and for any crosswise arch in modern buildings.

• Pointed barrel vault with transverse arches
• Groined vault with transverse arches
• Cross-ribbed vault with transverse arches
• Baroque vault with curved transverse arches (church at the Würzburg Residence)
• Baroque vault with curved transverse arches (church at the Banz Abbey)
