Hope is a small unincorporated community in the deserts of La Paz County, Arizona, United States.
Hope was founded as a rail town called Johannesberg on the Arizona and California Railroad in 1909. The community was revitalized by the construction of what are now State Routes 60 and 72 in the 1930s, and it declined after the construction of Interstate 10, which bypassed the area.
Hope is the site of a noted road sign claiming that travellers are "beyond Hope".
