The Moorish Casino in Arcachon , a French commune in the Gironde department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region , was built in 1862/63. The casino , which was protected as a monument historique , was destroyed by fire in 1977.

The building was built according to plans by the architect Paul Régnault (1827–1879) in the neo-Moorish style . The casino was opened in August 1863.

After the fire ruin was removed, a public park was created on the property.
