Quercus miyagii is a species of oak native to the Ryukyu Islands.[2] It is placed in subgenus Cerris, section Cyclobalanopsis.[3]
A tree typically 12 metres (39 feet) tall, its acorns are consumed by the freshwater crabs Geothelphusa grandiovata and Candidiopotamon okinawense, which gather them and store them in their burrows.[4]
