Shorea atrinervosa is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name is derived from Latin (ater = dull black and nervosus = nerved) and refers to leaf venation which is black in herbarium specimens.

It is an emergent tree, up to 50 metres (160 ft), found in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils.[2] S. atrinervosa is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo. It is found in at least four protected areas (Ulu Telupid[3] and Bidu Bidu[4] Forest Reserves and Lambir and Gunung Mulu National Parks).[2]
