Gymnocalycium eurypleurum ist eine Pflanzenart in der Gattung Gymnocalycium aus der Familie der Kakteengewächse (Cactaceae).
Gymnocalycium eurypleurum wächst einzeln mit trüb olivgrünen bis bräunlichen, abgeflacht kugelförmigen Trieben, die Durchmesser von 7 bis 12 Zentimeter erreichen. Die sieben bis zwölf niedrigen Rippen sind etwas gehöckert. Die ein bis zwei Mitteldornen, die meist fehlen, ähneln den Randdornen. Die vier bis sieben pfriemlichen, geraden bis wenig gebogenen, braunen Randdornen weisen eine Länge von 1 bis 3 Zentimeter auf.
Die weißen, rosafarben überhauchten Blüten sind bis zu 3 Zentimeter lang. Die weißlichen bis purpurfarbenen Früchte sind tönnchenförmig und erreichen einen Durchmesser von bis zu 2 Zentimeter.
Gymnocalycium eurypleurum ist im Norden von Paraguay im Halbschatten der Trockenwälder der Provinz Alto Paraguay in Höhenlagen von 100 bis 600 Metern verbreitet.
Die Erstbeschreibung durch Friedrich Ritter wurde 1979 veröffentlicht.[1]
In der Roten Liste gefährdeter Arten der IUCN wird die Art als „Least Concern (LC)“, d. h. als nicht gefährdet geführt.[2]

Gymnocalycium eurypleurum is a small "chin cactus" that is highly prized by cactus collectors and is known to be fairly easy to grow, albeit very slow [1] It has been cultivated outside in latitudes as far north as Modesto, California.[1] In the wild, the species is almost always solitary (non-clumping) and may grow in association with Frailea species. The species when grown in the greenhouse is also known for its fidelity to wild specimens. It is said to live in seasonally very dry habitat (annual rainfall 50–80 centimetres or 20–31 inches), clay soils between 6.8–7.2 pH, and maximum temperatures to 50 °C (122 °F).[2] Gymnocalycium eurypleurum is an endemic specie from Paraguay.
Friedrich Ritter describes the range of the species as, "even more vast than generally known. We found G. eurypleurum until close to the military station of Fn. Palmar de las Islas, up in the north near the Bolivian border. Here the species coexisted together with the beautiful Echinopsis chacoana, Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. stenopleurum and Frailea spec."[2]
