Canarium acutifolium is a species of plant in the family Burseraceae, native to eastern Malesia, Papuasia and Queensland.

The large compound leaves, which may reach 60 cm in length (including the petiole), are arranged spirally on the branches.

The petiole is swollen at the base and there are two quite large, linear stipules about 2 cm long which are shed after a short time.

The veins are pale yellow or cream, a striking contrast against the dark green of the blade, and are raised on both the upper and lower surfaces.

100 m (330 ft) altitude in the scarce remaining lowland rainforests of the Wet Tropics region of north-eastern Queensland.
