Arsen Lüpen (Arsène Lupin), Fransız roman karakteridir. Yazarı Maurice Leblanc, bu karakteri oluştururken ünlü Fransız anarşist ve akıllı bir hırsız olan Marius Jacob'dan esinlenmiştir. Türkiye'de Güncel Yayıncılık tarafından basılan Arsen Lüpen serisi 25 kitaptan oluşmaktadır. Onun için, hırsızların piri denilebilir ve kendisini Kibar Hırsız olarak tanıtır. Her zaman esprili ve kibardır. Kandan nefret eder, olabildiğince silah kullanmaz, Jiu Jitsu bilir, iyi rol yapar, iyi nişancıdır. Her zaman istediğini elde eder.

Arsen Lüpen, 2004 yılında yönetmen Jean-Paul Salome tarafından beyaz perdeye tekrar aktarılmıştır. Film serinin tüm kitaplarından kesitler içerir. 2021 yılında Netflix'te, çocukluğundan beri Arsen Lüpen'in serüvenlerini okuyup tekniklerini taklit eden Omar Sy'ın canlandırdığı Assane Diop adlı bir hırsızın intikamını anlatan Lupin dizisi yayınlanmıştır.

Peyami Safa, "Server Bedi" takma adıyla yazdığı "Cingöz Recai" isimli karakteri Arsen Lüpen'den etkilenerek oluşturmuştur.
