Hydnocarpus saigonensis is a tree in the Achariaceae family.

It is endemic to the Mekong basin of Cambodia and southern Vietnam (Tây Ninh Province and the former Phước Tuy Province).

[2][3][4][5] It grows some 7-10m tall, and is found in relatively small and fragmented populations within secondary forest formations, and the flooded forests of Tonle Sap and the Mekong.

[3][4][6] The wood is used to make charcoal, occasionally for temporary constructions.
