Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan (ファイナルファンタジーXI アトルガンの秘宝 Fainaru Fantajī Irebun Atorugan no Hihō?) is the third expansion pack for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI developed and published by Square Enix Co., Ltd.. It was revealed at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show. A new continent of Vana'diel known as Aridjiah, and its dominant nation of Aht Urhgan, was introduced, along with the Blue Mage, Corsair, and Puppetmaster jobs. The expansion introduced new monsters, among them Lamiae and Imps as well as new beastmen and undead monsters. The expansion was released in North America on April 18 and Japan on April 20, 2006, although the actual content of the expansion was unable to be accessed until a short while after its Japanese release.

Aradijah, known as the "Near East" is east of the existing Vana'diel continents of Quon and Mindartia (collectively known as the "Middle Lands"), which gameplay had been limited to before. Unlike the previous expansions, Aht Urhgan has little to do with the Great War prominent in Final Fantasy XI's history, aside from the Empire's refusal of aid. Though it was the first continent of Vana'diel introduced since the launch of Final Fantasy XI, references exist to a nation farther east of it, along with mentions of lands to the west, south, and possibly north[citation needed]. although the "West" and the "Far East" could possibly be the same location[citation needed].
