Yucca endlichiana Trel.[2] is a species in the family Asparagaceae, endemic to the Mexican state of Coahuila. The plant is acaulescent with creamy white to purplish flowers.[3][4]

Because of its small range, as well as threats including collection of plants and seeds, overgrazing, and construction, this plant is considered to be an endangered species by the IUCN.[1]
