Lagarostrobos franklinii is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia.

[3] In molecular phylogenetic analyses Lagorostrobos was found to be related to Parasitaxus (a parasitic and monotypic genus from New Caledonia) and Manoao, but their exact relationships are unresolved.

[4] The wood is highly prized for its golden yellow colour, fine grain, and natural oils that resist rotting.

Unlike the closely related New Zealand genus Manoao, the scales do not become fleshy and are water-dispersed, not bird-dispersed.

One stand of the species has been made available for access to craft wood from dead and downed timber under a strict licensing system.
