Garrya fadyenii is a species of flowering shrub known by the common name Fadyen's silktassel. It is native to the West Indies, specifically Jamaica, Hispaniola, and the former Cuban provinces of Oriente and Santa Clara (Las Villas). It grows in rocky areas of mountainous tropical rainforests.

Along with Vaccinium cubense, it is a principal wide-leaved plant in the Hispaniolan pine forests ecoregion.[2]
