Bactris cubensis is a species of palm endemic to the Nipe-Baracoa Massif and eastern Sierra Maestra in eastern Cuba at elevations between 40 and 700 metres above sea level. B. cubensis trees grow 2.7 to 6.4 m tall in clumps of 6 to 12 stems.

According to Salzman and Judd, B. cubensis forms a clade with B. plumeriana and B. jamaicana, the other Greater Antillean Bactris species.{{Cite journal|last1=Salzman|first1=Virginia T.|last2=Judd|first2=Walter S.|author-link2=Walter Stephen Judd |name-list-style=amp |date=1995|title=A revision of the Greater Antillean species of Bactris (Bactridinae: Arecaceae) |journal=Brittonia |volume=47 |issue=4 |pages=345–371 |doi=10.2307/2807563 |jstor=2807563|s2cid=1045661}}
