Aeonium urbicum is a species of plant in the Crassulaceae family. It is endemic to Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. Until 1999, it was also considered a resident of La Gomera, another Canary Island, but that year the populations on that island were considered a new species and named Aeonium appendiculatum.[1]

A. urbicum was also divided into varieties, var. urbicum and var. meridionale.[1]
