Aralotherium is an extinct genus of hornless rhinoceros closely related to Paraceratherium, one of the largest terrestrial mammals that has ever existed. It lived in China and Kazakhstan during the late Oligocene epoch (28–23 million years ago). It is classified as a member of the hyracodont subfamily Indricotheriinae.

Two species are known, A. prohorovi and A. sui.^[1]^[2]
