CartoonArts International is a cartooning newspaper syndication service based in the United States.

CartoonArts International was founded by comic book artist Jerry Robinson in 1978.
On April 29, 2019, The New York Times Licensing Service announced it would cease to distribute cartoons from CartoonArts after it had provided an image, published in the April 25 issue of The New York Times International Edition, that was widely criticized as antisemitic.
