Dryobalanops lanceolata is a species of plant in the Dipterocarpaceae family. The species name is derived from Latin (lanceolatus = shaped like the head of a spear) and refers to the shape of the leaf. This species is endemic to Borneo. It is found in at least five protected areas (Kabilli-Sepilok Forest Reserve, Danum Valley Conservation Area, Ulu Temburong, Lambir and Gunung Mulu National Parks), but is threatened elsewhere due to habitat loss.^[1]

It is an immense emergent tree, up to 80 m tall, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils.^[2] It is a heavy hardwood sold under the trade names of Kapur.
