Cerberin is a type of cardiac glycoside found in the seeds of trees in the genus Cerbera, including the suicide tree (Cerbera odollam) and the sea mango (Cerbera manghas). As a cardiac glycoside, cerberin disrupts the function of the heart by blocking its sodium and potassium ATPase. Cerberin can be used as a treatment for heart failure and arrhythmia.

Overconsumption of cerberin results in poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and bradycardia, often leading to death. Cerberin-containing plants such as Cerbera odollam have historically been used for suicide and homicide in their native regions due to their high toxicity.
