Comarostaphylis diversifolia is a species of shrub in the heath family known by the common name summer holly. It is native to southern California and northern Baja California, where it grows in coastal chaparral habitat. It is an erect shrub which can exceed 4 meters in height. Its bark is gray and shreddy and the tough, evergreen leaves are oval in shape and sometimes toothed. The inflorescence is a raceme of urn-shaped flowers very similar to those of the related shrubs, the manzanitas. The fruit is a bright red, juicy drupe with a bumpy skin.

There are two subspecies:

• C. d. ssp. diversifolia - native to the coastal hills of southern California and Baja California
• C. d. ssp. planifolia - native to the Channel Islands of California and the Transverse Ranges north of Los Angeles
