Aluvarus praeimperialis is an extinct ray-finned fish, known from two headless larval fossil specimens found in the Pabdeh Formation, a Late Eocene stratum from the Priabonian epoch, of what is now Iran.

[1][2][3] A. praeimperialis was originally thought to be a luvar, described as "Luvarus praeimperialis", as it was thought to be a predecessor to the modern luvar.

[1] The Pabdeh Formation was originally dated to the early Oligocene, but more recent analysis indicates it to be from the mid-late Eocene, most likely the Priabonian.

It inhabited an open ocean habitat with a significant deepwater component to the fauna.
