Dipterocarpus kerrii is a critically endangered species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to India (Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands), Indonesia (Kalimantan and Sumatra), peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

This species is locally common in lowland semi-evergreen and evergreen dipterocarp forest. It is cut for keruing timber and yields oil (commonly called the keruing oil) for the region.

The species is named after the Irish botanist A.F.G. Kerr (1877-1942).
