Arbeterheim (, 'Workers Home') was a Jewish cultural association in Riga, Latvia 1920-1923. The association was set by communists in 1920. The association was registered on June 20, 1920. It functioned as a front organization of the Communist Party of Latvia. "Arbeterheim" was led by Ābrams Ravdins. At its locale on 15 , "Arbeterheim" ran a "library, a reading room, language classes, a drama circle, and a music studio". In Riga the organization had some 3,000 members. Local groups were also formed in Daugavpils, Liepaja and Rezekne. In March 1922 the joint list of the leftist trade unions, the workers  consumer cooperative "Produkts" and Arbeterheim gathered 16,672 votes (14%) in the election to the Riga city council.
