Aliman (Romanian pronunciation: [aliˈman]) is a 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, Turkish: Bakkuyusu)
- Vlahii (historical name: Vlahchioi)
The territory of the commune also includes the former village of Adâncata (historical name: Polucci), at 44°9′0″N 27°52′57″E / 44.15000°N 27.88250°E, disestablished by Presidential Decree in 1977.
The Dacian fortress of 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 word for "German", Alaman or Aleman.
