Zamia chigua is a species of plant in the family Zamiaceae. It is found in Choco Department of Colombia and (Chiriquí Province) of Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Z. chigua is common in Chiriquí Province in Panama at 600 to 1,200 metres (2,000 to 3,900 ft) elevation, and in Choco Department in Colombia in lowland rain forests. Stevenson states that Z. chigua probably grows on mountain slopes in Darien Province in Panama and in adjacent parts of Colombia, but had not been found there as of 2004. The only known threat to Z. chigua is habitat destruction.
