Arkong Bato (lit. 'Stone Arch') is one of the constituent barangays in the city of Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Arkong Bato is a historical barangay named after the famous stone arch landmark on Marcelo H. Del Pilar Street that demarcates its boundary with Barangays Panghulo and Santolan in Malabon. The notable stone arch was built during American rule in 1910, originally as a boundary marker between Rizal and Bulacan provinces, which Malabon and Valenzuela were once part of, respectively.
