Capurodendron is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described by André Aubréville in 1962.
The genus contains 43 species which are all endemic to Madagascar. It is the second largest endemic genus of this island after Dypsis. The major part of its species are endangered or critically endangered of extinction by selective logging and the massive deforestation that Madagascar is suffering.
