Planchonella duclitan is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. This tree can reach up to a height of 40 meters, presenting glossy leaves and orange fruit. It is common on Christmas Island, dominating up to 20% of the upper leaf canopy, as a tree to 30 meters, in established forest or around 40% in regenerating habitat where it may attain the maximum height.

The species has been described as Planchonella nitida (Blume) Dubard, later regarded as a synonym for this treatment. The tree is used as a nest site by Abbott's booby, a sea-bird species Papasula abbotti, and its fruit and flowers provide food for the fruit bat Pteropus natalis.
