Aaron Durley (born 1993 in Houston, Texas) is a Little League baseball player, known for his exceptional size. He first became the object of media attention in 2006, when he played in the Little League World Series for the Arabian American team from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, which is largely composed of the children of foreign petroleum workers, many from the United States. He had previously played for the Arabian American team in the 2005 Little League World Series.

As of 2006, Durley is 6'8" (206 cm) tall and weighs 256 lbs. (116 kg), at age 13.

For the past five years, Durley has lived with his parents in Saudi Arabia, where his father works for Saudi Aramco. Previous to that, he lived in Canada.

Aaron will attend middle school in Houston at Westbury Christian School and live with his grandparents.

News reports have suggested that Durley is being scouted by U.S. professional baseball and basketball teams.[citation needed]
