Euryodendron is a genus of plant in family Pentaphylacaceae.[3] The genus currently contains a single species, Euryodendron excelsum. It is endemic to China. It is threatened by habitat loss.

A 2017 survey carried out in Guangdong Province found the species close to extinction, with only 76 trees left. A further 300 trees have been planted in an attempt to save the species.[4]
