Rhododendron ponticum, called Common Rhododendron or Pontic Rhododendron, is a species of Rhododendron native to southern Europe and southwest Asia. In Europe, it occurs in two areas, in Spain and northern Portugal, and in southeast Bulgaria, and in Asia from Turkey south to the Lebanon and east to Georgia and the Krasnodar area of southern Russia.

It is a dense, suckering shrub growing to 5 m tall, rarely 8 m. The leaves are evergreen, 6-18 cm long and 2-5 cm broad. The flowers are 3.5-5 cm diameter, violet-purple, often with small greenish-yellow spots or streaks. The fruit is a dry capsule 15-25 mm long, containing numerous small seeds.

There are two subspecies:

* Rhododendron ponticum subsp. ponticum. Bulgaria east to Georgia.
* Rhododendron ponticum subsp. baeticum (Boiss. & Reut.) Hand.-Mazz. Spain, Portugal.
