Quercus oleoides, with Spanish common names encina or encino, is a species of oak in the Fagaceae family. It grows in dry forests and pastureland of lowest North America and of Central America, from Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica to Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Quercus oleoides is a slow-growing tree, reaching 8–15 metres (26–49 ft) in height. Its pale gray leaves are evergreen, thick, hard, 4 to 11 cm long, 2 to 5 cm wide, oblong or elliptic. It flowers from December through May, with male catkins that are 3 to 4 cm long, and female catkins that are 3 to 30 mm long, containing one to six flowers, each about 7 mm long.
Its wood is extremely heavy with intercrossed grains; the sapwood is white, and heartwood brown.
