Ipomoea tastensis is a plant species native to the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. They are particularly abundant in the Sierra El Taste, where the white showy flowers make them a conspicuous part of the landscape.

Ipomoea tastensis is a woody vine twining over other vegetation up to a height of 10 m (33 feet). Leaves are heart-shaped, pointed at the tip, up to 8 cm (3.2 inches) long. Flowers are large, white, the corollas up to 14 cm (5.6 inches) long.
