Balanops is a group of flowering plants described as a genus in 1871.[3][4] The nine species are trees or shrubs, found in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, and northern Queensland.[5] They are dioecious, with separate male and female plants.[6]

The genus by itself constitutes the family Balanopaceae (formerly the spelling Balanopsidaceae was also used). It is placed in the order Malpighiales and is related to Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Euphroniaceae and Trigoniaceae.
