Vatica adenanii is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, where it grows only in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Vatica adenanii is a small tree. It is known only from a single collection in Sampadi Forest Reserve in Sarawak. It grows in lowland kerangas forests over infertile sandy soils below 100 metres elevation.[1]

The species is threatened by habitat loss from deforestation for logging and conversion to agriculture.[1]
