Cyrtostylis is a genus of orchid.
The genus was first described by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae (1810), the type specimen for the genus was Cyrtostylis reniformis. It shares many morphological characteristics of another genus, Acianthus, by the same author, and various revisions by botanists have seen this genus included in that same generic boundary. Three species of Cyrtostylis are endemic to the Southwest Botanical Province of Australia;
