Cedrela fissilis is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae.

It is native to Central and South America, where it is distributed from Costa Rica to Argentina.

[1] Once a common lowland forest tree, this species has been overexploited for timber and is now considered to be endangered.

A few populations are stable, but many have been reduced, fragmented, and extirpated.

The wood is often sold in batches with Cuban cedar (Cedrela odorata).
