"Elattostachys" is a genus of 13 trees in the soapberry family Sapindaceae. They are found in the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

One Australian species, "E. xylocarpa" is known as the white tamarind, while another, "E. nervosa" is known as the beetroot tree. It should be noted that a few members of the Australian Sapindaceae are called tamarinds, though they have no close relation to the true tamarind, which is a member of the bean family.
