Elaeocarpus thorelii is a tree in the family Elaeocarpaceae, endemic to Cambodia, and used for its wood.

The species grows 10-15m tall in dense/closed forests.

On the Bokor Plateau of Preah Monivong Bokor National Park, Cambodia, the plant is a rare small tree, found at about 970m elevation.

[2] Elaeocarpus thorelii is called krâmâr in Khmer, the name is an allusion to its rough bark.

[2] The French botanist Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre, who specialised in Asian flora, described the plant in his Flore Forestiere de la Cochinchine in 1885,[4] naming this species after Clovis Thorel.
