Parinari campestris is a species of tree in the plant family Chrysobalanaceae which is native to Trinidad, the Guianas, Venezuela and Brazil.

In his 1972 monograph, Ghillean Prance designated P. campestris as the type species of the genus due to the fact that Aublet's illustration of P. montana contains errors and includes parts of plants belonging to two different species of Parinari.

[1] Parinari campestris grows in open forests, nears the edges of savannas, and along river banks.

It ranges from Trinidad in the north, through parts of Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana into northern Brazil.

[1] Parinari campestris is one of several species including Richeria grandis and Roupala montana which known by the common name bois bandé.
