Malus sargentii, commonly known as Sargent's crabapple, is a species of flowering tree in the rose family (Rosaceae) native to Japan. It is named after Charles Sprague Sargent, an influential American horticulturist.

Sargent's crabapple is a small, deciduous tree that typically grows to a height of 3 to 8 meters (10 to 26 feet) with a rounded crown. It is valued for its ornamental qualities, including its showy spring blossoms, which can range in color from white to pink, and its small, decorative fruits, which are usually red or yellow and persist into winter, providing interest and food for birds.

This species is popular in landscaping and is often used in gardens, parks, and urban areas for its attractive appearance and ability to attract pollinators. It is relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of various soil conditions, although it prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Sargent's crabapple is also sometimes used as a rootstock for grafting other apple varieties. Hardy in zones 4-8.
