Cinnamomum virens is a rainforest tree growing in the eastern coastal region of Australia. Common names include red-barked sassafras, black sassafras, camphorwood, scentless cinnamon wood, and native camphor laurel.

Growing in rich volcanic soils or on poorer sedimentary soils, it is often in association with coachwood.
