Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a species of flowering plant in the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is native to western Africa, from Cameroon west to Sierra Leone, where it grows in lowland tropical rainforest. It can grow up to 39-49 ft tall.

The leaves are variable in shape, but often with a broad apex and narrow middle, resembling a lyre or fiddle; they are up to 18 in long and 12 in broad (though usually smaller) with a leathery texture, prominent veins and a wavy margin.

It is a popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical gardens, and is also grown as a houseplant in temperate areas, where it usually stays shorter and fails to flower or fruit. It requires indirect natural light. It is hardy down to 50 °F, so specimens may be placed outside during warm periods.

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
