Lansium parasiticum, commonly known as langsat, is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae with commercially cultivated edible fruits. The species is native to Southeast Asia.

It is of the family, Meliaceae, and of the Kingdom Plantae. The tree is actually not parasitic, "parasiticum" comes from the fact that it can grow as an epiphyte in the wild, which was once thought to be a sign of parasitism.
