Quercus margarettae, the sand post oak or dwarf post oak, is a North American species of oak in the beech family. It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States from Virginia to Florida and west as far as Texas and Oklahoma.[6] There are historical reports of the species growing in New York State, but it has not been seen there in years.[7]

Quercus margarettae is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing up to 12 meters (40 feet) tall.[8] Bark is gray and scaly. Leaves are up to 135 mm (5.4 inches) long, bipinnately lobed with rounded lobes. The plant grows in sandy or gravelly soil.[3][7]
