Argophyllum curtum is a species of plant in the Argophyllaceae family that is endemic to a small part of north eastern Queensland, Australia. It was described and named in 2018 and has the conservation status of least-concern.
A. curtum is restricted to a small area of the Wet Tropics of Queensland between Kuranda and Edmonton near Cairns. There are 5, possibly 6, populations in that area (one that was previously reported has not been relocated since). It is found in open forest and on the margins of streams in complex notophyll rainforest, usually on granitic alluvial soils. The altitudinal range is between 120 and 630 m (390 and 2,070 ft).
