Dalbergia assamica, also known as Dalbergia balansae, is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree native to southeastern Asia, ranging from the eastern Himalayas, Bangladesh, and northeastern India through Indochina to southern China.[2]

It grows in lowland and submontane mixed deciduous and dry evergreen forests, scrub, wasteland around villages, and abandoned shifting cultivation sites from 100 to 800 metres elevation.[1]

The species was described by George Bentham in 1852.[2] The species' taxonomic status is unsettled, as some authorities recognize D. balansae as a separate species, or consider D. assamica a synonym of D. balansae.[1]
