Ferraioloite is a rare mineral with formula MgMn²⁺₄(Fe²⁺_0.5Al_0.5)₄Zn₄(PO₄)₈(OH)₄(H₂O)₂₀. It is related to the phosphate mineral falsterite. Ferraioloite was found in pegmatites of the Foote Lithium Company Mine, Cleveland County, North Carolina, US. The name honors James (Jim) A. Ferraiolo (1947–2014).
