We show that the order of an automorphism of an arithmetic Riemann surface of genus $g$ is not greater than $2g\,{-}\,2$, provided $g$ is large enough. This bound is an arithmetic analog of the classical Wiman bound. We prove that it is sharp and attained for any genus but in contrast to the general case the automorphisms of maximal order act without fixed points. This allows us to consider the automorphisms which act on arithmetic Riemann surfaces and have a given number of fixed points. For these automorphisms we describe the asymptotic behavior of their orders.
