Corynocarpus similis is a species of tree in the family Corynocarpaceae, reaching 13 metres (40 feet) in height. It is endemic to Vanuatu. It was first described by the British botanist William Hemsley in 1904 in his revision of the Corynocarpus genus. It is most closely related to C. laevigatus and C. disimilis, but differs due to its wider leaves and their shape. C. similis's seeds contain poisonous glucosides compounds of 3-nitropropionic acid, which are similar to those found in C. laevigatus.
Corynocarpus dissimilis is endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago, Solomon Islands, New Britain, New Ireland, and Vanuatu.
