El arroz glutinoso (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa o Oryza glutinosa; también denominado arroz pegajoso, arroz dulce, arroz cerulento, arroz botan, arroz mochi y arroz de perlas) es un tipo de arroz de grano corto que se vuelve pegajoso cuando se cocina. Se denomina glutinoso (del latín glūtinōsus) por lo pegajoso que es y no porque contenga gluten. No debe confundirse con otros arroces asiáticos que poseen este efecto pegajoso; el arroz glutinoso es más pegajoso que estos arroces.

Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa; also called sticky rice, sweet rice or waxy rice) is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, which has opaque grains, very low amylose content, and is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous (< Latin glūtinōsus) in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten. While often called "sticky rice", it differs from non-glutinous strains of japonica rice which also become sticky to some degree when cooked. There are numerous cultivars of glutinous rice, which include japonica, indica, and tropical japonica strains.
