'''''Eurotium''''' is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Aspergillaceae.<ref name="CoL"/>

The genus was circumscribed by Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1809.<ref name="Link 1809"/>

Because of nomenclatural changes brought about by one fungus one name, most of the species formerly placed in ''Eurotium'' have been transferred to ''Aspergillus''.<ref name="Hubka et al. 2013"/> It mainly contained teleomorphs of subgenus ''Aspergillus''.<ref name=Samson2014>{{Cite journal |last1=Samson |first1=RA |last2=Visagie |first2=CM |last3=Houbraken |first3=J |last4=Hong |first4=SB |last5=Hubka |first5=V |last6=Klaassen |first6=CHW |last7=Perrone |first7=G |last8=Seifert |first8=KA |last9=Susca |first9=A |last10=Tanney |first10=JB |last11=Varga|first11=J|last12=Kocsubé|first12=S|last13=Szigeti|first13=G|last14=Yaguchi|first14=T|last15=Frisvad|first15=JC|date=June 2014 |title=Phylogeny, identification and nomenclature of the genus ''Aspergillus'' |journal=Studies in Mycology |volume=78 |pages=141–173 |doi=10.1016/j.simyco.2014.07.004|doi-access=free |pmid=25492982 |pmc=4260807 }}</ref>
