Odontonema brevipes is a species of plant in the family Acanthaceae which is endemic to Trinidad and Tobago.

The species is only known from four localities in the Main Ridge of Tobago.

[2] It was described by German botanist Ignatz Urban in his Symbolae Antillanae, based on collections made by Danish botanist Henrik von Eggers and English-born Trinidadian botanist Walter Elias Broadway.

[3] Although Odontonema brevipes is not listed in the IUCN Red List, the authors of a 2008 assessment of the endemic plant species of Trinidad and Tobago considered it vulnerable due to the fact that it is known from a restricted area or small number of localities.
