Prunus alabamensis, the Alabama cherry or Alabama black cherry, is an uncommon to rare species of tree in the rose family endemic to parts of the Southeastern United States. It is closely related to and found wholly within the range of Prunus serotina (black cherry), a more common and widespread species also native to the region. Alabama cherry is sometimes considered to be a variety of P. serotina (i.e. Prunus serotina var. alabamensis), but most authors treat it as a distinct species.
