Ilex cornuta, commonly known as Chinese holly or horned holly, is a slow-growing, densely foliaged evergreen shrub in the Aquifoliaceae plant family.

The fruits are red berries, which are larger than those of the European Holly (Ilex aquifolium). Ilex cornuta is valued horticulturally for its attractive and distinctive rectangular foliage and for its large red berries.
