Theobroma cacao, also called the cacao tree, and the cocoa tree is a small evergreen tree native to the deep tropical regions of Mesoamerica. Its seeds, cocoa beans, are used to make chocolate liquor, cocoa solids, cocoa butter and chocolate.

The cacao tree is native to Mexico. It was first domesticated 5,300 years ago, in equatorial South America, before being domesticated in Central America by the Olmecs (Mexico). More than 4,000 years ago, it was consumed by pre-Hispanic cultures along the Yucatán, including the Maya, and as far back as Olmeca civilization in spiritual ceremonies. It also grows in the foothills of the Andes in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, in Colombia and Venezuela. Wild cacao still grows there.

Cacao trees grow in a limited geographical zone, of about 20° to the north and south of the Equator. Swedish natural scientist Carl Linnaeus first gave the cacao plant its botanical name in his original classification of the plant kingdom. He called it Theobroma ("food of the gods") cacao.
