Elaeocarpus grandis, commonly known as blue quandong, is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae first described in 1860. It is a large buttressed tree native to the coastal rainforests of northeastern Australia. The validity of this taxon is disputed, with some authorities accepting it and others presenting it as Elaeocarpus angustifolius.
