Quercus praeco is a Mexican species of trees in the beech family. It is native to the States of Jalisco and Nayarit in western Mexico and Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico.[2][1][3]

Quercus praeco is a deciduous tree up to 7 m (23 ft) tall with a trunk as much as 50 cm (20 in) in diameter. Leaves are up to 14 cm (5+1⁄2 in) long, broadly egg-shaped, with shallow lobes or teeth along the edges. Upper side of the leaves is green, the underside yellowish because of many hairs.[2]
