'''''Capurodendron''''' is a genus of plants in the family [Sapotaceae](/source/Sapotaceae) described by [André Aubréville](/source/Andr%C3%A9_Aubr%C3%A9ville) in 1962.<ref name=v>[http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40001046 Tropicos, ''Capurodendron'' Aubrév.]</ref><ref>Aubréville, André. 1962.  Adansonia: recueil périodique d'observations botanique, n.s. 2: 92</ref>

The genus contains 43 species which are all [endemic](/source/endemic) to [Madagascar](/source/Madagascar).<ref name = powo>{{cite web |title=''Capurodendron'' Aubrév. |url=https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:36690-1 |website=[Plants of the World Online](/source/Plants_of_the_World_Online) |publisher=[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew](/source/Royal_Botanic_Gardens%2C_Kew) |access-date=5 April 2025}}</ref> It is the second largest endemic genus of this island after ''[Dypsis](/source/Dypsis)''.
