The notion of \em entanglement entropy in quantum mechanical systems is an important quantity, which measures how much a physical state is entangled in a composite system. Mathematically, it measures how much the state vector is not decomposable as elements in the tensor product of two Hilbert spaces. In this paper, we seek its arithmetic avatar: the theory of arithmetic Chern-Simons theory with finite gauge group G naturally associates a state vector inside the product of two quantum Hilbert spaces and we provide a formula for the \em von Neumann entanglement entropy of such state vector when G is a cyclic group of prime order.
