Coccothrinax inaguensis, the thatch palm [2] or Inagua silver palm, [3] is a palm which is endemic to the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. [4]

Henderson and colleagues also considered Coccothrinax victorinii to be a possible conspecific. If that is the case, the name C. victorini should be applied to the combined species, since that name was the first to be published. [2]
