Solanum abutiloides is a species of plant in the family Solanaceae. It is endemic to Argentina and Bolivia, and thrives as a weedy plant in rocky land, on stream banks, and scrub land between 900–3600 metres (3000–11800 ft) in elevation. It is also known as dwarf tamarillo, due to superficial similarities with Solanum betaceum. Solanum abutiloides is also sometimes known by the archaic name Cyphomandra abutiloides.
