Helicia blakei, also named Blake's silky oak, is a species of rainforest tree, of northeastern Queensland, Australia, from the flowering plant family Proteaceae.

Botanists know of them growing naturally only (endemic) from a few collections in the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region, from about 160 to 1,250 m (520 to 4,100 ft) altitude.[2][3][4][5][6]

They have been recorded growing up to about 10 m (33 ft) tall.[5]
