Cupaniopsis simulata, commonly known as northern tuckeroo,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the soapberry family and is endemic to eastern Queensland.

It is a rainforest tree with paripinnate leaves with 4 to 12 elliptic leaflets, and separate male and female flowers arranged in a thyrse, the fruit a brownish orange capsule.

The bark is furrowed, greyish-brown with lighter blotches and its new growth is reddish, the stems hairy at first, later glabrous.

[2][3][4] Cupaniopsis simulata was first formally described in 1991 by Sally T. Reynolds in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens collected near Fairlies Knob in 1990.

[3] Northern tuckeroo grows in araucarian rainforest at altitudes from 120 to 540 m (390 to 1,770 ft) between central eastern and south-eastern Queensland.
