Veitchia arecina, commonly known as Montgomery palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It grows to between 25' and 35' (7.60m and 10.60m) and has white or yellow blooms.

It is found only in Vanuatu. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is being offered as a landscape design suggestion in areas of Florida where the annual low temperatures do not exclude it as a choice.
