Dodonaea platyptera is a species of plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to northern Australia. It is an erect dioecious shrub or small tree with hairy branches, simple, narrowly elliptic to elliptic leaves with a prominent midrib, flowers arranged in panicles or cymes, the flowers with four sepals and usually eight stamens, and capsules with three or four leathery wings.
This species of Dodonaea grows in coastal areas, often near sand dunes or on the edges of rainforest, and sometimes further inland in open forest or in dune thickets in sandy soil in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the northern parts of the Northern Territory and in northern Queensland in the north of the Northern Territory and north-eastern Queensland.
