Two men have been charged with attempted murder after a Queensland man was doused in accelerant and set alight.

Police will allege the men attacked a 39-year-old man in an inner-city Brisbane unit in Woolloongabba on Monday before fleeing.

The man suffered significant burns to his head and body and was transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

It will be alleged the men are known to each other.

Two men, aged 41 and 43, have been charged with attempted murder, entering a dwelling with intent to commit an indictable offence, and extortion.

Both were remanded in custody and are expected to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on May 23.
