Dalbergia baronii is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is named after the English missionary and botanist Rev. Richard Baron.
Dalbergia baronii inhabits evergreen lowland forests, marshes and mangrove stands along the East coast of Madagascar. It occurs from sea level up to 150 m, rarely up to an elevation of 600 m.
It produces a durable, black-striped heartwood that is locally used for cabinet making, furniture and marquetry. It was internationally traded, notably to produce guitar bodies and fingerboards, amongst others.
