Dalbergia monticola is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It occurs at higher elevation, which gave the species its name.
Dalbergia monticola inhabits evergreen humid mid-altitude forests along the eastern escarpment of Madagascar, extending onto the Central High Plateau as well as onto the Northern Highlands. It occurs at an altitude of around 250–1600 m.
It produces a durable heartwood that is locally used for cabinet making. It was internationally traded, notably to produce guitar bodies and fingerboards, among other uses.
