Ajantahulene er en samling buddhistiske kulturminner ved landsbyen Ajanta i delstaten Maharashtra i India.

Hulene ligger i en hesteskoformasjon i fjellet i dalen der elven Waghora gjør en sving. Til sammen finnes det 30 templer og klostre hugd ut i huler i fjellet i tiden 200 f.Kr. til 650 e.Kr.[1] Hulene er dekorert med vegg- og takmalerier.

Etter den buddhistiske perioden i India gikk templene og klostrene ut av bruk og ble glemt. De ble gjenoppdaget av en britisk offiser i 1819.[2]

Ajantahulene ble i 1983 satt på UNESCOs verdensarvliste.[2]
