HMNZS Arabis was a modified Flower-class corvette of the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN).

Built for the British Royal Navy as HMS Arabis, she was transferred to the RNZN on completion.

After a refit, Arabis sailed for the Solomons, arriving at Renard Sound on 14 December 1944 where her captain took over as senior officer, 25th Minesweeper Flotilla, from Matai.

Two voyages to Nouméa followed in July 1945 to escort with Tui the twelve RNZN Fairmiles back home to Auckland.
