Hicksbeachia is a genus of 2 species of tree in the family Proteaceae. They are native to northern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland. They are commonly known as the red bopple nut or the beef nut due to the bright red colour of their fruits.
Neither of the two species is common. H. pinnatifolia is the one more commonly grown, due to its edible nuts.
