Alloxylon wickhamii is a rainforest tree to {{convert|30|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the Wet Tropics of Queensland.

In the wet tropics it is found growing in various well-developed rain forests and apparently is "probably more abundant in upland and mountain rain forests".

This substantial rainforest tree species has large leaves (adult: up to {{convert|17|cm|in|abbr=on}}, younger: up to {{convert|40|cm|in|abbr=on}}) and bunches of attractive pink-red flowers in October and November.

It is "not as well known as Alloxylon flammeum but deserves an equal place in horticulture".
