Aerilamma is a genus of chitons in the family Mopaliidae.

The shells are small, broadly ovate and depressed, with subobsolete radial ribbing, and a dense surface pattern of fine wrinkles that are more or less vertical over the central area, but are radially arcuate on the lateral areas. The girdle is thick but narrow, with sutural pores, and dense, minute, triangular scales, but no hair-like processes.
