第伦桃（学名：Dillenia indica；英语：elephant apple、Indian dillenia），别称拟琵琶、第伦桃等，为五桠果科五桠果属植物。果肉含粘液果胶带酸味，可制酸味饮料、果汁或果酱。在印度，第伦桃果实的萼片可作蔬菜食用；在马来西亚，其果实可加入咖喱，果肉则用于洗发。果肉亦有止咳、解热之效；叶及树皮可作收敛剂，叶的汁液可治秃头，树皮可治鹅口疮。第伦桃的叶因与枇杷叶相似，故而有拟枇杷的别称。第伦桃的果实外层包著肥厚的萼片，看似绿色的桃子，故而得名。
其种加词“indica”意为“印度的”。
现接受名为菲岛五桠果（Dillenia philippinensis Rolfe, 1884)。
