Sankowskya is a genus of plants endemic to Queensland, Australia. The genus contains only one species, Sankowskya stipularis, which was first described in 1995 and has been given the conservation status of 'endangered'.
It was originally thought that this plant was restricted an extremely small area near Julatten, but in 2014 a specimen was collected near the coast north of Palmer Point, about 30 km (19 mi) southeast of Cairns and about 90 km (56 mi) southeast of all other collections. In the Julatten area it inhabits swampy rainforest that is subject to seasonal waterlogging.
