Template:Use dmy dates Arnemetia is a goddess in Romano-British religion. Her shrine is at Aquae Arnemetiae ("waters of Arnemetia"), which is now Buxton in Derbyshire, England.<ref>Miranda J. Green. Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend. Thames and Hudson Ltd, London, 1997.</ref>

Arnemetia's name contains Celtic stems are ("against, beside") and nemeton ("sacred grove"). Her name is thus interpreted as "she who dwells in the sacred grove", suggesting Arnemetia may be a divine epithet rather than a name in its own right.
