Leucaena salvadorensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found in the tropical parts of El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
It was first published in N.L.Britton & al. (eds.), N. Amer. Fl. vol.23 (Issue 2) on page 125 in 1928.
It is found at an altitudes of 200–1,000 m (660–3,280 ft) above sea level.
The wood of the tree is an excellent source of firewood because it is so dense and can be easily split and dried.
