Aluminosilicate minerals are minerals composed of aluminium, silicon, and oxygen.

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.

They are often used for gas or liquid adsorption.^{citation needed}
