到着予定時刻(とうちゃくよていじこく、英: estimated time of arrival, ETA, ETOA)は、船舶、車両、航空機、貨物、緊急車両[1][2]、が目的地に到達する予定時刻。特に公共交通機関で使うことが多く、電車、バス、航空機等の動きを基に、所定の時刻表から割り出したり、最新の交通量から逐次概算してゆく[要出典]。交通機関の場合、対義語に当たる「出発予定時刻(estimated time of departure, ETD)」と対にして用いることが多い[要出典]。

仕事を処理するのにかかる時間、コンピューター上で演算を終えるまでにかかる時間やファイルの移動・コピーに要する時間等にETAを使う。この場合、ETAは後付で「任務遂行予定時刻、estimated time of accomplishment」の略とされる(いわゆるバクロニム)[要出典]。一例として、Windowsに付属されているチェックディスクをコマンドラインで実行した際に、処理が完了するまでの所要時間(終了予定時刻ではない)をETAと表している。[9]
