An arch is a curved vertical structure spanning an open space underneath it. Arch can either support the load above it or perform a purely decorative role. The arch dates back to fourth millennium BC, but became popular only after its adoption by the Romans in the 4th century BC.

वास्तुशिल्प में चाप या मेहराब वृत्त के चाप की सी संरचना को कहते हैं जो दो आलम्बों के बीच की दूरी को पाटता है तथा अपने ऊपर भार वहन करता है। जैसे पत्थर की दीवार में दरवाजे के लिये बनायी गयी संरचना। वैसे तो वास्तुशास्त्र में चाप का उपयोग दो हज़ार वर्ष से भी पुराना है, किन्तु इसका विधिवत उपयोग प्राचीन रोमवासियों द्वारा आरम्भ हुआ दिखाई पड़ता है।
