Diospyros subrhomboidea is a tree in the family Ebenaceae. It grows up to 20 metres (70 ft) tall. Inflorescences bear a solitary flower. The fruits are round, up to 1.5 cm (1 in) in diameter. The specific epithet subrhomboidea is from the Latin meaning 'somewhat rhombic', referring to the leaf shape.
