Quercus coffeicolor is a species of oak. It is native to Nayarit, Sinaloa, and Jalisco in western Mexico.

Trelease in 1924Trelease, William 1924. Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences 20: 137-138 simultaneously published three names for what nearly all present-day botanists consider to be one species. Some publications have referred to this taxon as Quercus prainiana but this name turns out to have been used earlier, in 1913,[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/7036#page/372/mode/1up Léveillé, Augustine Abel Hector. 1913. Repertorium Specierum Novarum Regni Vegetabilis 12(330–332): 363] description in Latin, commentary in French applied to an Asian species now called Quercus helferiana. Hence this name is not available for the Mexican trees. Instead, more recent authors been using one of Trelease's other names, Quercus coffeicolor.

The species is placed in section Lobatae.{{Cite web |last1=Denk |first1=Thomas |last2=Grimm |first2=Guido W. |last3=Manos |first3=Paul S. |last4=Deng |first4=Min |last5=Hipp |first5=Andrew L. |date=2017 |title=Appendix 2.1: An updated infrageneric classification of the oaks |website=figshare |doi=10.6084/m9.figshare.5547622.v1 |url=https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Appendix_2_1_________An_updated_infrageneric_classification_of_the_oaks/5547622/1 |access-date=2023-02-18 |format=xls |name-list-style=amp }}
