Oberonia jhae is a species of critically endangered orchid endemic to Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. It was described by Krishna Chowlu in 2017 from a collection in Papum Pare district in Arunachal Pradesh. Very little information is known about its population and considering the decline in its habitat this species was classified as critically endangered.
