Differential UBV photoelectric photometry has been obtained for the binary AR Mon during four consecutive seasons. This system is one of only a few that consists of two late-type evolved stars. The period is 21.2 days. The Wilson-Devinney program is used to simultaneously solve three, combined-data light curves with previously published radial velocities. Two solutions are presented -- a 98% lobe-filling solution and a 100% (semi-detached) solution. New absolute dimensions are calculated.
