Kebangkitan dunia Arab atau Musim Semi Arab adalah gelombang revolusi unjuk rasa dan protes yang terjadi di dunia Arab. Sejak 18 Desember 2010, telah terjadi revolusi di Tunisia dan Mesir; perang saudara di Libya; pemberontakan sipil di Bahrain, Suriah, and Yaman; protes besar di Aljazair, Irak, Yordania, Maroko, dan Oman, dan protes kecil di Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Arab Saudi, Sudan, dan Sahara Barat. Kerusuhan di perbatasan Israel bulan Mei 2011 juga terinspirasi oleh kebangkitan dunia Arab ini. Protes ini menggunakan teknik pemberontakan sipil dalam kampanye yang melibatkan serangan, demonstrasi, pawai, dan pemanfaatan media sosial, seperti Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, dan Skype, untuk mengorganisir, berkomunikasi, dan meningkatkan kesadaran terhadap usaha-usaha penekanan dan penyensoran Internet oleh pemerintah. Banyak unjuk rasa ditanggapi keras oleh pihak berwajib, serta milisi dan pengunjuk rasa pro-pemerintah. Slogan pengunjuk rasa di dunia Arab yaitu Ash-sha`b yurid isqat an-nizam.
