Arcanadea (Japanese: アルカナディア, Hepburn: Arukanadia) is a Japanese series of heavily customizable fantasy model kits created and produced by Kotobukiya, released since December 2021, with necömi as the lead character designer.

Compared to Kotobukiya's other bishoujo kit lines, which are more themed after Mecha Musume, the line is more themed around fantasy themes such as demi-humans and monster musume (monster girls) as its core appeal.

The concept was brought about by imagining a fantasy VRMMO game, of which the various characters inhabit.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Yokohama Animation Laboratory is set to premiere in January 2027.
