Magnolia sulawesiana is a large evergreen tree of the family Magnoliaceae that grows in tropical montane forests on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.
The species in only known from three sites, all located in the central mountain range of Sulawesi, including Lore Lindu National Park. There, it forms part of the canopy in moist tropical montane forests at elevations of 1,600–2,200 metres (5,200–7,200 ft). It is currently the only species of Magnolia considered endemic to Sulawesi.
While other species of Magnolia, such as M. tsiampacca and M. vrieseana, are much sought after for their valuable timber, M. sulawesiana is currently not known to be exploited. This is possibly due to its occurrence at remote locations and high elevations.
