Allium karataviense is an Asian species of onion in the Amaryllis family.

[9] It is a native to central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan)[4] (and cultivated elsewhere as an ornamental plant[10][11]).

[12] The Latin specific epithet karataviense means of the Karatau mountains in Kazakhstan, in reference to the plant's native range.

It produces a basal rosette of wide, arching leaves.

[14] Basal leaves are broad-elliptic, spreading, gray-green, and appear in pairs.
