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.
It inhabits mesic forests at elevations of 850–930 metres (2,790–3,050 ft). It is threatened by habitat destruction, mainly due to introduced grazing mammals.
