Rhopalocarpus louvelii is a tree in the family Sphaerosepalaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Rhopalocarpus louvelii is a widespread species in Madagascar. Its habitat is both dry and wet forests from sea-level to 1500m (4,900feet) altitude. Some populations are within protected areas.
Rhopalocarpus louvelii is threatened by shifting patterns of agriculture, resulting in deforestation. Because the species is used as timber, subsistence harvesting is also a threat.
