There are not quite any PERFECT rhymes** (A perfect rhyme here would require every sound of the word to be exactly matched. Thus "shmalgebra", if a real word, would count.)

But there are a few that are very close "near rhymes" --matching all the vowels ("assonance") and key consonants

The closest is:
palpebra (meaning "eyelid")

Others:
amphora
anaphora
Barbara [if pronounced as three syllables]
disaspora
rasbora [if pronounced with accent on first syllable]

---------------------------------

**Definition of "perfect rhyme":

"Rhyme in which the final accented vowel and all succeeding consonants or syllables are identical, while the preceding consonants are different, for example, great, late; rider, beside her; dutiful, unbeautiful. Also called full rhyme, true rhyme."

I'd refer to this website for rhymes:
http://www.rhymezone.com/
But since there is none on that website, I doubt there is anything that rhymes with algebra.
