东印度橄榄(学名:Canarium indicum;英语:galip nut)为橄榄科橄榄属下的一个种,原产新几内亚岛、所罗门群岛、新赫布里底群岛、新不列颠岛、新爱尔兰岛和马鲁古群岛。
台湾暂时没有本种的引种记录。台湾在20世纪引栽爪哇橄榄,其学名在当时的文献中写作Canarium commune L.。从原始文献来看,C. commune是C. indicum的晚出异名,所以现在许多文献将爪哇橄榄的学名标作C. indicum。然而自从布卢默将C. commune误用于C. vulgare,C. commune就常常指C. vulgare。C. indicum与C. vulgare的区别在于前者托叶宿存、有锯齿,而后者托叶早落、全缘。台湾引栽的爪哇橄榄C. commune托叶早落,因此并非C. indicum。
