Callitris is a genus of coniferous trees in the cypress family, Cupressaceae. There are 16 recognized species in the genus, of which 13 are native to Australia and the other three (C. neocaledonica, C. sulcata and C. pancheri) native to New Caledonia. Traditionally, the most widely used common name is cypress-pine, a name shared by some species of the closely related genus Actinostrobus. Alongside Eucalyptus and Acacia, Callitris is one of the dominant tree genera in Australia.
