Arjo Atayde is a Filipino actor. He is the son of actress Sylvia Sanchez and businessman Art Atayde. He is the eldest with three younger siblings, another one being Ria Atayde, who's also an actress. He studied at La Salle Greenhills and later moved to Reedley International School.

His first official venture into acting was at age 9 for Ang TV. However, he was pulled out when it affected his schooling. Atayde's first notable appearance was more than a decade later, in 2014, for the show E-Boy as "Jepoy".

In his short career, he has garnered several starring roles in the longest-running drama anthology series Maalaala Mo Kaya.

He continued to have various notable roles in 2019, for which he received many accolades. Most noteworthy are his portrayals of Benjo, a barber who falls into criminality, in the iWant TV exclusive show "Bagman" and then as Elai, a man with autism, in "The General's Daughter". The latter brought him praise on social media, including the approval of the Autism Society Philippines for his sensitive and nuanced representation of autism.
