"Sundacarpus" is a genus of conifers containing a single species "Sundacarpus amarus", belonging to the family Podocarpaceae. "Sundacarpus" was designated a genus by C.N.Page in 1989; formerly it had been classified variously as a species of "Podocarpus" or of "Prumnopitys".

"Sundacarpus" is a large evergreen tree, 10-60 m in height, with a trunk from 12-140 cm in diameter. The leaves are 5-15 cm long and narrow.

"S. amarus" is native to parts of Australia and Malesia. In Australia, the genus is found primarily on the Atherton Tableland and adjacent parts of northeastern coastal Queensland. It is quite common in New Guinea, New Britain, and New Ireland, where they are often found in montane forests together with southern beech ("Nothofagus"). "Sundacarpus" is also found on the Indonesian islands of Buru, Halmahera, Morotai, Sulawesi, Lombok, Flores, Timor, Sumbawa, Java, Sumatra, and Sabah province on the island of Borneo; also Mindanao and Luzon in the Philippines.
