Ecuadendron is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, containing the single species Ecuadendron acosta-solisianum. It is endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from three populations on the coast. It is threatened because the wood is valuable and it is vulnerable to logging.
