Texas Red Oak ("Quercus buckleyi" Nixon & Dorr) is a deciduous tree which is native to the southern Great Plains of the United States. It is smaller and more likely to be multi-trunked than its close relative, the Shumard Oak. The two species are interfertile, and hybrids are common along a line from Dallas to San Antonio. Texas Red Oak usually is 30 to 50 feet (9 to 15 meters) tall at maturity, and seldom reaches a height of more than 75 feet (23 meters). Its previous scientific name was "Quercus texana" which is now the scientific name for Nuttall's Oak and thus has led to much confusion when referencing this Oak.

It is a highly regarded ornamental and shade tree. In autumn the leaves turn vivid red and orange.
