Serrulatocereus is a genus of cactus endemic to northwestern and central Haiti. It contains a single species, Serrulatocereus serruliflorus.[1]

It was originally named Cereus haitiensis,[2] but that name is illegitimate as it had already been used for another species.[3] The specific epithet ayisyen means "Haitian" in Haitian Creole.[4]
