Phoenix caespitosa is a species of plant in the palm family native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.
Phoenix caespitosa can be found in Djibouti, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, where it grows in dry wadis, semi-desert bushland, rocky crevices, and ravines. In Somalia it occurs at elevations as high as 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level, and it may occur at elevations as high as 1,950 m (6,400 ft) in Saudi Arabia. In Yemen it is widespread, though scattered, across the escarpment at elevations between 400–1,200 m (1,300–3,900 ft) above sea level. It may be locally abundant in marshes, valleys, and alongside streams in dry areas.
