Pseudophoenix is a genus of palms which is native to the wider Caribbean. Three species of the four species are endemic to the Greater Antilles, while the fourth, P. sargentii, is widely distributed in the northern Caribbean and adjacent portions of the Central and North American mainland.

Trees in this genus are medium to large palms with single, unclustered trunks. They lack spines and have pinnately compound leaves. Flowers are green and bisexual, while the ripe fruit are red.[1]
