O Albor Tholus é um vulcão extinto na região da Elysium Planitia em Marte. Esse vulcão se delimita com os vulcões vizinhos Elysium Mons e Hecates Tholus. A altura do Albor Tholus é de 4.5 km[1] de altura e um diâmetro de 160 km[1] na base. Sua caldera possui um diâmetro de 30 km e 3 km de profundidade.[1] Comparado aos vulcões terrestres, a caldeira é anormalmente profunda. Explorações da sonda marciana Mars Express demonstraram que os vulcões da região Elysium estiveram ativos por um longo período.
