Ficus virgata, commonly known as figwood, is a tree in the family Moraceae, native to areas of Southeast Asia and the western Pacific.

It usually grows as a strangler on other trees, eventually smothering and killing its host, but may also grow on its own.

In Australia it is found from Kutini-Payamu National Park in the northern part of Cape York Peninsula, south along the east coast to Paluma Range National Park, at altitudes from sea level up to about 400 m (1,300 ft).

It was named by Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume in 1825.

[4][5] As of January 2025[update], this species has been assessed to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and under the Queensland Government's Nature Conservation Act.
