Quercus arkansana, the Arkansas oak, is a species of oak tree. It is native to the southeastern United States (eastern Texas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle). It is threatened by use of its habitat for pine plantations, clearing of land, and diebacks that may be caused by drought.
