Guioa is a genus of 78 species of tree in the soapberry family Sapindaceae. They have a wide distribution, ranging from Malesia, down to the east coast of Australia and out into the Pacific Islands.
They are characterised by having hairy new growth. The Australian species are known to the logging industry as cedars, though they have no direct relationship with true cedars or the Australian members of the Meliaceae which are known as cedars.
