Quercus welshii, also known as the wavy leaf oak, shinnery oak, or Tucker oak, is a North American species of shrub in the beech family found in the Colorado Plateau and Canyonlands region of the southwestern United States. It is a deciduous shrub 2 to 6 feet (0.61 to 1.83 meters) tall with an elaborate root system, anchoring it in sandy soils and helping stabilize soils in sandy desert scrub communities. The leaves are elliptical or lance-shaped with 6–10 lobes along the margins and pointed tips, sometimes with lobes and teeth. It blooms from March to June, with male and female flowers in separate hanging clusters, and acorns 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 in (13 to 19 millimeters) long. It is distinct from Quercus havardii, and is found in sand desert shrub communities, and sandy soils of blackbrush scrub and pinyon–juniper woodland communities in Arizona, Utah, western Colorado, and northwestern New Mexico.
