Quercus buckleyi, commonly known as Texas red oak, Buckley's oak, or Spanish oak[1][2] is a species of flowering plant.[3][4] It is endemic to the southern Great Plains of the United States (Oklahoma and Texas).[5]

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