Gyranthera caribensis is a rainforest tree in the Amazon forest of southern Venezuela.

Traditionally placed in the Baobab Family (Bombacaceae), which is now a subfamily of the Mallow Family (Malvaceae).

One individual called "El Pie Grande" ("Bigfoot") near Orgueta, Venezuela, has a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 18 ft 6in (17.12 meters girth),[1] possibly the thickest presently living in the Amazon Basin.

The tree was described by the botanist Henri François Pittier in 1921.
