Leucadendron is a genus of about 80 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, endemic to South Africa, where they are a prominent part of the fynbos ecoregion and vegetation type. Leucadendrons are evergreen shrubs or small trees growing up to 116 m tall.

The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences; they are dioecious, with separate male and female plants.
