Cedrela angustifolia is a species of tree in the mahogany family, Meliaceae. Local common names include cedro de Tucumán, cedro bayo, cedro coya, and cedro del cerro.^[1] It is native to South America, where it occurs in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru.^[1]

This is a species of mountain forests. It easily colonizes disturbed habitat, forming dense canopy. These stands still occur in Bolivia,^[1] and the tree is common in parts of Argentina.^[2] However, it is a valuable timber tree.^[2] Some populations have faced substantial declines, and it is considered to be an endangered species.^[1]
