Dudleya palmeri is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae known by the common name Palmer's liveforever.

The upper surface of the leaf is flat or transversely convex, and the leaves may or may not be covered in an epicuticular wax.

When the leaves are removed from the plant, the remaining leaf bases will turn red with the wound.

Flowering is late spring, typically from May to July[2][3] The first collection of this plant was made in San Simeon Bay by a Dr. E Palmer in 1877, whom the specific epithet is named after, and described by Sereno Watson in 1879 as Cotyledon palmeri.

[2][5] Some botanists regard the Dudleya caespitosa plants in Monterey County with red-petaled flowers to be closer to this species.
