Rhaptopetalum is a genus of about a dozen species of small trees and shrubs from tropical West and Central Africa, in the Brazil-nut family. Almost none are grown as ornamentals, so care details are generally unknown.

As of November 2018, Kew's Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:
Rhaptopetalum beguei · Rhaptopetalum belingense · Rhaptopetalum geophylax · Rhaptopetalum sindarense
