Mitrephora glabra is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a tree endemic to Borneo. Rudolph Scheffer, the Dutch botanist who first formally described the species, named it after its hairless (glabrous in Latin) leaves and mature twigs.
It has been observed growing in lowland rain forests, often near rivers and streams, at elevations of 0 to 450 meters (1,480 ft).
Bioactive compounds isolated from its tissues have been reported to be cytotoxic in tests with cultured human cancer cells and have antimicrobial activity in tests with both fungi and bacteria.
