Juniperus turbinata is a woody plant in the family Cupressaceae.
The species was previously treated as part of Juniperus phoenicea, which is now regarded as restricted to Spain and France, whereas J. turbinata is found throughout the Mediterranean and in the Arabian Peninsula. As of 2023, plants occurring in the Canary Islands, previously considered as part of the same species, are treated as the separate species J. canariensis.
J. turbinata has a native distribution throughout the Mediterranean and in the Arabian Peninsula. It is known from southwestern and southeastern Europe, North Africa, and parts of western Asia (Cyprus, the east Aegean Islands, Lebanon and Syria, the region of Palestine, the Sinai Peninsula) and northwestern Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia). It favours soils that are composed of sand, Cambrian limestone or volcanic rock.
