Ceratopetalum is a genus of nine species of plants in the family Cunoniaceae. They are native to eastern Australia (eight species) and New Guinea (one species). They are trees or large shrubs of rainforest or moist sclerophyll forest, some producing useful timber. Fossil records suggest the range of the genus extended to the Americas in the past.
Species in this genus are distributed in three disjunct regions. Both C. aptetalum and C. gummiferum are found in eastern New South Wales and southeast Queensland, and C. tetrapterum occurs in New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. The remaining six species are found at altitude in a small part of northeast Queensland. All species grow in rainforest, except C. gummiferum which inhabits wet sclerophyll forest, and C. apetalum which inhabits both forest types.
