Mammillaria angelensis is a species of plant in the family Cactaceae. It is endemic to Mexico, and can be found close to sea level, partway down the Baja California Peninsula. Its shape is globose or short cylindrical, and grows up to 15 cm high. The flowers have two distinct colour forms. The first is white, with pinkish midstripes on the outer petals; the second is much more deeply coloured, with deep pink petals and maroon midstripe. These grow to 20 mm in length and 30 mm in diameter.
