The Curtis Hall Arboretum, sometimes called Curtis Arboretum, is a forty-five-acre arboretum that is located at 1250 Church Road (Route 73), Wyncote, Pennsylvania. The arboretum was founded by Mary Louise Curtis Bok, in honor of her father, Cyrus Curtis. The landscaping was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. The arboretum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The arboretum surrounds Curtis Hall, once the ballroom of the family mansion, which now is operated by the Cheltenham Township Parks and Recreation Department. It features hills, two ponds, and over fifty types of trees.

For more than twenty-five years, nearby Cheltenham High School has used the grounds of Curtis Arboretum as its home cross-country course during the fall racing season. The course measures approximately 2.9 miles (4.7 km).
