The exA-Arcadia (Japanese: エクサ・アルカディア, Hepburn: ekusaarukadia), stylized as exA-Arcadia and also known as exA, is a ROM cartridge-based arcade system board released on November 27, 2019, by the Japanese game company of the same name, exA-Arcadia.

The exA-Arcadia originally launched as a JVS conversion kit for existing coin-operated arcade cabinets. With its games stored on self-contained solid state media cartridges, a game cabinet can easily be changed to a different game title by swapping the game's cartridge and cabinet artwork. The exA-Arcadia offers owners the ability to put up to four different cartridges into a single cabinet. This unique feature was a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money long term by only needing to buy a new game kit rather than a whole new game cabinet.

The exA-Arcadia was marketed as the most powerful modular arcade system upon its release compared to contemporary rival arcade systems such as Taito's TypeX series and Sega's RingEdge 2. For single threaded processing under Unity's benchmark testing, it has achieved higher performance than Sony's PlayStation 5 console.
