Hopea shingkeng was a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It was endemic to the eastern Himalayan region of India.
"Flora of China" reports the species from southeast Tibet.[3] Nevertheless, the reported elevational range (300–600 metres (980–1,970 ft)) makes this record suspect. The species is not listed among the protected plants of China.[4]
