Lophocereus is a genus of cacti. It has often been merged into the genus Pachycereus, but was separated in a 2019 revision of Pachycereus, and is accepted by Plants of the World Online as of March 2021.
Its cultivation is very widespread in family gardens, to prevent erosion and for its fruits, and in gardens for its ornamental value.
