Astropanax barteri is a species of plant in the family Araliaceae.

It is native to tropical Africa. According to Plants of the World Online, Astropanax barteri is distributed in West Africa (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria), west-central Africa (Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, the Gulf of Guinea Islands, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi), and Angola.^[2] The IUCN Red List records a narrower range for the species (as Schefflera hierniana) in Equatorial Guinea (Bioko island) and in Cameroon, including Mount Cameroon, Belo to Lake Oku in Northwest Region, the Rumpi Hills in Southwest Region, the Bakossi Mountains, the Lebialem Highlands at Fosimondi.^[1]

It grows in humid evergreen lowland rain forest and Afromontane rain forest, including gallery and swampy forests, from 100 to 2,200 meters elevation.^[3] It is threatened by habitat loss.^[1]
