Camptolepis is a genus of plant in family Sapindaceae. It contains the following species (but this list may be incomplete):

Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, plants were treated as one of two kingdoms including all living things that were not animals, and all algae and fungi were treated as plants. However, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes. By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae, a group that includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, mosses and the green algae, but excludes the red and brown algae.

The Sapindaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Sapindales known as the soapberry family. It contains 138 genera and 1858 accepted species, including maple, ackee, horse chestnut and lychee.

Camptolepis ramiflora is a species of plant in the Sapindaceae family. It is found in Somalia along the lower Jubba River into eastern Kenya and Tanzania. Information on the possible occurrence in Madagascar may alter the current status of the species. Although the range appears extensive, subpopulations are localised and confined to habitat loss.
