Myrtgerocactus lindsayi is a species of cacti. It is thought to be a natural hybrid between Mytillocactus cochal and Bergerocactus emoryi. Its generic name comes from those of its parents ("Mytillocactus" and "Bergerocactus") and its specific name is after botanist Georges Lindsay. The plant was discovered near El Rosario, Baja California, Mexico.
