Quercus semecarpifolia is an Asian species of trees in the beech family. It is native to the Himalayas and nearby mountains in Tibet, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.[2]

Quercus semecarpifolia is an evergreen tree up to 30 meters tall. Leaves are up to 12 cm long, with a few teeth along the sides but rounded at the tip.[2][3]

The epithet "semecarpifolia" refers to a resemblance between the leaves of this species and those of Semecarpus anacardium.[3]
