Coccothrinax acunana is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae.[3][4] It is sometimes referred to by the common name sierra palm,[5] and is endemic to Pico Turquino in Cuba. It grows at high elevations (above 900 m), reportedly higher than any other Cuban palm.[5] Like other members of the genus, C. acunana is a fan palm.
Andrew Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. acunana to be a synonym of Coccothrinax miraguama.[6]
