Arignac is located 2 km north of Tarascon-sur-Ariège and some 11 km south of Foix.

The N20 passes through the south-east of the commune but the nearest exit is Exit 14 just east of the commune. The town covers about 10% of the commune with the rest mostly forest and hill country with a few farms in the south.[2]
