Quercus alpescens is a species of oak endemic to northeastern Mexico.
Quercus alpescens is known from a few locations in the Sierra Madre Oriental and isolated ranges on the Mexican Plateau east of the Sierra, including Mount Kankandó in Hidalgo state, Cerro Temeroso in Zacatecas, and Cerro Potosí in Nuevo León. It generally grows at high-elevations, up to 3,200 meters. On Cerro Potosí it generally grows on limestone-derived soils.
