Quercus mongolica, commonly known as Mongolian oak, is a species of oak native to Japan, northern China, Korea, Mongolia, and southeastern Siberia.^[1] The species can grow to be 30 metres (98 feet) tall.^[7]^[8]^[9]

The flavono-ellagitannins mongolicin A and B can be found in Quercus mongolica var. grosseserrata.^[10]

Extrafloral nectaries have been reported on the leaf buds of this species.^[11]

Three varieties are accepted:^[3]

Quercus mongolica var. crispula (Blume) H.Ohashi – Japan, Korea, Manchuria, southern Russian Far East, and Sakhalin^[4]
Quercus mongolica var. mongolica – Mongolia, northern China, Korea, and southern Russian Far East^[5]
Quercus mongolica var. mongolicoides (H.Ohba) M.Aizawa – Kantō region of Honshu, Japan^[6]
