Vitis arizonica is a North American species of wild grape. It is a deciduous vine.

Common names for the grape are Arizona grape, canyon grape, and uva del monte.[2] It has historically been used as a food source by Indigenous peoples of the Southwest. Canyon grape can tolerate drought and cold temperatures. It grows in a variety of habitats including riparian zones and shady canyons.[3] It can hybridize with mustang grape, sweet mountain grape, and California wild grape where their ranges overlap.[4]
