Arncroach is a small village in the east of Fife, four miles inland of the fishing village of Pittenweem and around ten miles from St Andrews.

Situated about a quarter of a mile from Arncroach is Kellie Castle, formerly the seat of the Earl of Kellie, and is also where the famous Lorimer family lived. The village saw the installation of the first wind turbine in the East Neuk area of Fife, directly adjacent to the Gillingshill Nature Reserve.

The village green is named after Louise Lorimer.

Arncroach is situated at the foot of Kellie Law, a small hill which is visible from the Firth of Forth. The village has a population of around 120 people.
