Coriaria pteridoides, commonly known as tutu and small-leaved tutu, is a species of shrub in the family Coriariaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand's North Island. This species is common along streams and gravel slopes. It was first described by the New Zealand botanist Walter Oliver in 1942. C. pteridoides's range only covers Mount Taranaki, the North Island Volcanic Plateau, and the Ruahine Ranges. This species, and all Coriaria species, are poisonous, especially the seeds. C. pteridoides's 2023 assessment in the New Zealand Threat Classification System was "Not Threatened".
