Gilbertiodendron is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It consists of about 25 species of tree native to west and west-central tropical Africa. Members of this genus were formerly considered to be in the genus Macrolobium but that genus is now restricted to species growing in tropical America. It is closely related to Pellegriniodendron.{{cite book|author=Lemmens, R.H.M.J.|author2=Louppe, D.|author3=Oteng-Amoako, A.A.|title=Timbers 2|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4MpmAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA358 |publisher=PROTA |isbn=978-92-9081-495-5 |pages=358–359}}
