Aranda is a suburb in the Canberra district of Belconnen. It is the eastern most suburb in Belconnen, located at the western foot of Black Mountain. Bounded on two sides by nature park, the suburb is characterised by its bush setting. During the planning and development of the suburb, a large proportion of large native trees - predominantly eucalypts - were left in place.

The suburb derives its name from the name of an Aboriginal tribe in central Australia, sometimes also know as Arunta, which means 'White Cockatoo'. The streets in Aranda are named after Aboriginal tribal groups from around Australia. The suburb comprises an area of 160ha and in 1967 was the first suburb in Belconnen to be settled.

Due to its setting in a bush environment and the interest expressed by its residents, Canberra's first Community Fire Unit was established in Aranda in 2003. The programme provides Aranda residents with training and fire fighting equipment to fight bushfires in their suburb.
