Keʻanae Arboretum (Script error: No such module "convert".) is an arboretum and botanical garden located on the Hana Highway (Highway 360) about Script error: No such module "convert". west of Keʻanae, Maui, Hawaiʻi, United States.

Before the 1940s the land the Arboretum sits on was used to farm food, medicine and fiber-producing plants. From 1946 until the mid-1950s, it became an agricultural work site for prisoners at Ke'anae Prison Camp. It was established as an arboretum in 1971.[1]

The arboretum lies alongside the Piinaau Stream on taro cultivation terraces and within a rainforest, and contains two short walking trails. It contains about 150 varieties of native and introduced tropical plants, including gingers, hibiscus, papaya, and various types of taro.[2][3] Trees are labeled with common name, scientific name, and origin.
