Sabal causiarum, commonly known as the Puerto Rican hat palm, is a species of palm which is native to Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands.

Sabal causiarum is a fan palm with solitary, very stout stems, which grows up to 10 m ft 0 tall and 35 - 70 cm in diameter. Plants have 20–30 leaves, each with 60–120 leaflets. The inflorescences, which are branched, arching or pendulous, and longer than the leaves, bear globose, black fruit. The fruit are 0.7 - 1.1 cm in diameter; fruit size and shape are the main characteristics by which this species differs from Sabal domingensis.^[1]
