Quercus blaoensis is the accepted name of a critically endangered oak tree species. It is estimated that there are fewer than 50 mature individuals. This species belongs the Asian sub-genus of Quercus within the family Fagaceae. It differs from other Quercus subgenera in that they have acorns with distinctive cups, characterised by growing rings of scaly protrusions and densely grouped acorns (applies to this species but not to all). This species is endemic to southeastern Vietnam where it inhabits evergreen seasonal tropical forests at altitudes of 200–1100 metres. It is named after 'Blao', the name used by the Chau Ma minority people for Bảo Lộc.
