In this paper, we define the canonical height of subvarieties of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field over Q. We also prove that the canonical height of a subvariety is zero if and only if it is a translation of an abelian subvariety by a torsion point.20 pages, typeseted by AmSLaTeXNumber TheoryAlgebraic Geometry11G35;14G25;14G40The canonical arithmetic height of subvarieties of an abelian variety over a finitely generated fieldtext
