Quercus rubra, the northern red oak, is an oak tree in the red oak group (Quercussection Lobatae).

It is a native of North America, in the eastern and central United States and southeast and south-central Canada. Often simply called red oak, northern red oak is so named to distinguish it from southern red oak (Q. falcata), also known as the Spanish oak. Northern Red Oak is sometimes called champion oak.

Quality red oak is of high value as lumber and veneer. Construction uses include flooring, veneer, interior trim, and furniture. It is also used for lumber, railroad ties, and fence posts.
