Aluminosilicate minerals are minerals composed of aluminium, silicon, and oxygen. They are a major component of kaolin and other clay minerals.

Andalusite, kyanite, and sillimanite are naturally occurring aluminosilicate minerals that have the composition Al₂SiO₅.

Hydrated aluminosilicate minerals are referred to as zeolites and are porous structures that are natural occurring materials.

The catalyst silica-alumina is an amorphous substance which is not an aluminosilicate compound.
