Juniperus taxifolia is a species of juniper native to the Bonin Islands southeast of Japan. It is an evergreen coniferous shrub or small tree that grows to a height of 1-3 m. Its leaves are needle-like, light green, 7-14 mm long and 1-1.5 mm broad, with a double white stomatal band on the inner surface. It is dioecious, with separate male and female plants. The seed cones are berry-like, green ripening to reddish-brown with a variable light waxy coating, spherical, 8-10 mm diameter, and have six or nine fused scales in two or three whorls of three. The pollen cones are yellow, 5 mm long. Juniperus lutchuensis from the Ryukyu Islands may be a synonym or variety of J. taxifolia, or a distinct species. Its conservation status is Vulnerable.
