'''Aliman''' ({{IPA|ro|aliˈman}}) is a [[Commune in Romania|commune]] in [[Constanța County]], [[Northern Dobruja]], [[Romania]]. It includes four villages:
* Aliman
* Dunăreni (historical name: ''Mârleanu'' or ''Mîrleanu'' until 1968)
* Floriile (historical name: ''Bac Cuius'', {{langx|tr|Bakkuyusu}})
* Vlahii (historical name: ''Vlahchioi'')

The territory of the commune also includes the former village of ''Adâncata'' (historical name: ''Polucci''), at {{coord|44|9|0|N|27|52|57|E}}, disestablished by Presidential Decree in 1977.

The [[Dacia]]n fortress of [[Sacidava (Moesia)|Sacidava]] was located close to the village of Dunăreni.

According to [[Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu]], in a hypothesis endorsed by [[Iorgu Iordan]], the name ''Aliman'' derives from the [[Turkish language|Turkish]] word for "German", ''Alaman'' or ''Aleman''.<ref>Iorgu Iordan, ''Nume de locuri Româneşti în Republica Populară Română'', Volume 1, p.124.
