Pandanus balfourii, also known as Vakwa bordmer, is a species of plant in the family Pandanaceae, one of four Pandanus species that are endemic to the Seychelles.

Pandanus balfourii is a small, slender, elegant tree of about 8 meters in height, with small supporting roots, and bearing its drooping leaves in spiral rosettes.

Its medium-sized fruit-body (25 cm) hangs from the stem and contain 70-90 individual fruits.

It was formerly extremely common along the coast, and its local name Vakwa bordmer refers to this habitat preference.

The Madagascan species Pandanus utilis is introduced and is now also widespread.
