Quercus magnoliifolia, also known as encino amarillo, encino avellano, encino bermejo, encino blanco, encino napis, encino prieto, and roble,[3] is a Mexican species of oak. It is widespread along the Pacific Coast of Mexico from Sinaloa to Chiapas, and also found inland as far as Zacatecas and Puebla.[3][1][4][5]

It was classified and described in 1801 by the French-Spanish botanist Luis Née.[6][7]
