Aroche () is a municipality of Spain located in the province of Huelva, Andalusia. According to the 2005 census, the town had a population of 3,319.

== History == The Roman city of Arucci Turobriga, in the Hispania Baetica, was established during the reign of Augustus in 15-10 BC, probably as the merger of two older Celtic towns: Arucci and Turobriga. This city was located in the plains below current Aroche, by the Ermita de San Mamés. Although it has been speculated that this corresponds to the original Turobriga, it is still unclear whether this is the case, since there are barely any sources on Turobriga apart from a list of towns by Pliny the Elder and the epithet Turobrigensis applied to the local deity Ataegina.
