The National Archaeology Research Institute (Indonesian: Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional, Puslit Arkenas) was an Indonesian research center coordinated under the Agency of Education Standards, Curricula, and Assessments (formerly Agency of Research and Development) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. It was one of the oldest state research institutions in the country, operating since the early 20th century.

The agency was transferred to the National Research and Innovation Agency and replaced as part of the state research activity integration plan. It was announced on 24 January 2022 that on 1 February, the institute would be amalgamated with various agencies into the newly formed Archaeology, Language, and Letters Research Organization.
