Sambucus pubens or American red elder is a species of elder (Sambucus) native to eastern North America. The inflorescence is a rounded panicle, making the plant easy to distinguish from the more common S. canadensis, which has a more open, flattened corymb. Some authors have considered S. pubens to be conspecific with S. racemosa L.

Common name is "red-berried elder" or "red elderberry". The red berries are an important food source for many birds. To humans, they are poisonous raw but can be eaten if cooked.
