Dacryodes is a genus of about 60 species of trees in the family Burseraceae. The generic name is from the Greek dakruon meaning "tear(drop)", referring to how resin droplets form on the bark surface.
Dacryodes species grow naturally in tropical forests of the Americas, Africa and Asia. The habitats range from lowland to submontane forests from sea-level to 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) elevation.
