Argophyllum curtum is a plant in the Argophyllaceae family endemic to a small part of north eastern Queensland.

[5] The species epithet curtum is from the Latin curtus, meaning short, and refers to the very small teeth on the margins of the leaves.

[5] It is found in open forest and on the margins of streams in complex notophyll rainforest, usually on granitic alluvial soils.

[4][5] The taxon authors conceded that there are no immediate threats to this species, but also noted that the available habitat is small and potentially subject to detrimental forces.

[5] They suggested that a vulnerable status be applied to the species,[5] however the Queensland Department of Environment and Science has assessed it as least concern.
