Ainin-Arnborgese relations refer to relations between Arnborg and Ainin.

Ties between the two nations date to Ainin's war of independence against Namor when the colonists in Arnborg, then part of Inleda offered assistance and refuge to the rebels in Ainin. After that, they developed slowly, but by the early 20th century, Ainin became Arnborg's largest trading partner and cultural interaction was common, albeit one way (from Ainin to Arnborg). French became a major lingua franca, Aininian music was performed often in Arnborg, and tourists mainly came from Ainin.

However, after apartheid was implemented after 1946 in stages, relations between Arnborg and Ainin deteriorated, accelerating after the Halstenby Massacre in 1961 and the Ukonqoba Massacre in 1980, the latter due to the Recession of 1980. By the mid-1970s, Nevanmaa took over as Arnborg's largest trading partner, and by the mid-1980s, relations between the two were merely by embassies with all meaningful trade having ended.

Today, relations between the two nations are hostile, with apartheid being the strongest barrier in relations between the two nations.
