Quercus dankiaensis[1] is the accepted name of an endemic tree species in the Asian sub-genus of 'ring-cupped oaks' and the family Fagaceae; there are no known subspecies.[2][3]

The species appears to be endemic to Vietnam (especially Lam Dong Province), where it may be called sồi Dankia. It is a main canopy tree, growing up to 30 m and has relatively large acorns in 22 x 8 mm cupules.[4]
