Endiandra is a genus of about 130 species of plants, mainly trees, in the laurel family Lauraceae. They are commonly called "walnut" despite not being related to the Northern Hemisphere walnuts (Juglans spp.) which are in the family Juglandaceae.

The genus consists of evergreen shrubs or trees. Leaves are alternate or spirally arranged, usually penninerved or rarely triplinerved. Inflorescences are usually paniculate and axillary. Flowers are bisexual and mostly trimerous with two whorls of three tepals, some are dimerous. There are usually three stamens, and the ovary is usually sessile or nearly so. It has a single carpel and a single ovule. The fruits are single-seeded drupes or berries with fleshy mesocarp and exocarp.
