Magnolia oaxacensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae.

[1] Magnolia oaxacensis is a small tree that grows up to 5 meters tall.

[1] Magnolia oaxacensis grows in montane cloud forests from 2,000 to 2,100 meters elevation.

It is subject to habitat loss from excessive timber harvesting and conversion of forest lands to agriculture and livestock pasture, and much of its remaining habitat is on steep slopes.

Mature trees are seldom found with seedlings or saplings nearby, and the fruits rarely produce seed.
