The Molokaʻi Jack-bean (Canavalia molokaiensis) is a plant species in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is found only on eastern Molokaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is threatened by habitat destruction, mainly due to introduced grazing mammals.
