Teucrium balfourii is a perennial subshrub in the family Lamiaceae, native only to the islands of Socotra and Samhah in the Socotra Archipelago of Yemen.
It was formally described in 1907 by the Austrian botanist Friedrich Karl Max Vierhapper, based on material collected by Isaac Bayley Balfour in the late 19th century. The species is named in the latter′s honor.
The species is restricted to the islands of Socotra and Samhah in the Socotra Archipelago. It grows mainly on rocky slopes and plateaus at mid elevations, particularly on limestone substrates in arid and semi-arid shrubland.
