Ceratozamia hildae, commonly known as the bamboo cycad, is a species of cycad in the family Zamiaceae that is endemic to Mexico. It is native to the Huasteca Potosina of Querétaro and San Luis Potosí, near the Santa Maria River. C. hildae inhabits deciduous oak woodlands at elevations of 850–1,300 m (2,790–4,270 ft). It is threatened by habitat loss and over-collecting.

It is the only cycad with more than two sets of leaflets per leaf internode.
