Madhuca primoplagensis is a tree in the family Sapotaceae. It grows up to 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 35 centimetres (14 in). The bark is dark brown. Inflorescences bear up to 13 flowers. The fruits are ellipsoid, up to 3 centimetres (1 in) long. The specific epithet primoplagensis is from the Latin meaning "first region", referring to Sarawak's First or Kuching Division, the tree's only known home.
