Arlette Halff (née Neufeld; 16 April 1908 – 1 June 2007) was a French tennis player who was active between the 1930s and the early 1960s.

Halff participated in the singles event of the Wimbledon Championships in 1931 and 1939 and reached the fourth round on both occasions.[2] She also took part in the French Championships, reaching the semi-final in the 1938 singles event which she lost in straight sets to first-seeded and eventual champion Simonne Mathieu.[3] During the same championships, she achieved her best result at a Grand Slam tournament when she and her partner, compatriot Nelly Landry, finished runners-up in the doubles competition against Simonne Mathieu and Billie Yorke.

She was a singles runner-up at the French Covered Court Championships in 1931, 1938, and 1950.
