Forestiera ligustrina, commonly called southern-privet,[1] is a shrub in the olive family (Oleaceae).

It is native to the Southeastern United States.

[2] Its natural habitat is in upland calcareous woodlands and glades.

It is also found on coastal shell middens.

[1] Forestiera ligustrina can be distinguished from the similar-looking Forestiera godfreyi by having smaller leaves with less pubescent petioles, and by its twig pubescence being group in two lines (as opposed to twigs with uniform pubescence).
