Abstract: This article shows that under general conditions, $p$-adic orbital integrals of definable functions are represented as the trace of a Frobenius operator on a virtual motive. This gives an explicit example of the philosophy of Denef and Loeser, which predicts that all ``naturally occurring'' $p$-adic integrals are motivic.
