Xylosma zongoi (syn. Lasiochlamys coriacea) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. Formerly a member of Lasiochlamys, the new name was given in 2023 when the genus was transferred to Xylosma. It is listed as a protected species by the National Natural Heritage Inventory.
The range of Xylosma zongoi is restricted to New Caledonia, extending across northern and north-central Grande Terre, occurring across the communes of Hienghène, Ouégoa, Poindimié, Ponérihouen, Pouébo, Poya, and Touho. Notable localities where it is present include the Diahot River and Mont Mandjélia of the Ouégoa and Pouébo communes; Mont Boulinda of the Ponérihouen commune; and Mont Katalupaïk of the Poindimié commune.
