Scilla madeirensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Madeira and the Savage Islands growing amongst volcanic rocks and along coastal cliff faces.

In 2003, the bulbs of the plant were found to contain 2,4-(4′-aminobenzenamine)pyrimidine, which has limited evidence as a α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist.
