Capurodendron is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described by André Aubréville in 1962.

The entire genus is endemic to Madagascar, and with more than 50 species, 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.
