"O Pelourinho de Arcos de Valdevez localiza-se na freguesia do Salvador, na vila e concelho de Arcos de Valdevez, distrito de Viana do Castelo, em Portugal.

Foi erguido na primeira metade do século XVI, obra do canteiro João Lopes, o Velho, originalmente no centro da Praça Municipal, diante da antiga Casa da Câmara.

Por volta de 1700 foi reerguido no lugar da Valeta, junto ao rio Vez e, em 1895, no largo fronteiro à Igreja Matriz. Finalmente, em 1998 foi colocado no atual local, em frente ao edifício dos Paços do Concelho.

Encontra-se classificado como Monumento Nacional desde 1964."
