美洲油棕（学名：Elaeis oleifera）又名黑果棕、美洲油棕榈，分布于中美洲至南美洲热带地区。

本种树干沿地面匍生，叶片大而宽阔，高位芽，花、果与近亲非洲油棕（E. guineensis）相似，但产油量低，因此美洲油棕本身几乎不作为经济作物栽种，但一些油棕园会栽培非洲油棕与美洲油棕的杂交种（E. guineensis x E. oleifera）以提高不饱和脂肪的含量，同时增强作物的抗病性。

Elaeis oleifera is a species of palm commonly called the American oil palm. It is native to South and Central America from Honduras to northern Brazil.

Unlike its relative Elaeis guineensis, the African oil palm, it is rarely planted commercially to produce palm oil, but hybrids between the two species are, mainly in efforts to provide disease resistance and to increase the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the oil.
