Juan Pascual Antonio Arrieta Corera (20 October 1821 – 11 February 1894), also known as Emilio Arrieta, was a Spanish composer.

Arrieta was born in Puente la Reina , Navarre . His Italian musical training led him, under the favour of Queen Isabel II , to concentrate on operatic writing; and though he later composed zarzuelas , he remained less committed to the renascent art form than his contemporaries such as Francisco Asenjo Barbieri , who continued to write in an essentially Italianate style throughout his life. His zarzuela Marina , one of the most popular lyric stage works in the Spanish repertoire, has been produced and recorded both on CD and DVD many times. Arrieta died in Madrid , aged 70.
