Thujopsis () is a genus of conifers in the cypress family (Cupressaceae), the sole member of which is Thujopsis dolabrata. It is endemic to Japan, where it is known as asunaro (). It is similar to the closely related genus Thuja (arborvitae), differing in its broader, thicker leaves and cones.
== Etymology == A popular allegory for the etymology of asunaro is asu wa hinoki ni narou (), literally "tomorrow it will become a hinoki cypress", i.e. the tree looks like a smaller version of the common hinoki cypress.
