Eurotium is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Aspergillaceae.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1809.[3]

Because of nomenclatural changes brought about by one fungus one name, most of the species formerly placed in Eurotium have been transferred to Aspergillus.[4] As of October 2023, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts four species of Eurotium:[2]
