Varvara Michajlovna Arsen'eva (Russian: Варва́ра Миха́йловна Арсе́ньева; 1676-1730), was a Russian courtier and mistress of Peter the Great.

She was the daughter of the governor Bulgakov Arsenyev and sister-in-law of Alexander Danilovich Menshikov. She was appointed lady in waiting to the Empress Catherine, and was for a time the lover of Peter the Great. In 1727, she was appointed Ober-Hofmeisterin. The same year, however, she was exiled to a convent after the fall of Menshikov.
