Veitchia arecina, commonly known as Montgomery palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It grows up to about 10 m (33 ft) tall and has white or yellow blooms.

It is found only in Vanuatu. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is being offered as a landscape design suggestion in areas of Florida where the annual low temperatures do not exclude it as a choice.
