Weniomeles bodinieri (synonym Photinia bodinieri) is an evergreen tree belonging to the family Rosaceae. It is native to central and southern China and northern Vietnam.[1] It typically grows to a height of 6 to 15 meters.[2]

The species was first described as Photinia bodinieri by Augustin Abel Hector Léveillé in 1907. In 2023 Bin Bin Liu placed the species in the newly-described genus Weniomeles as Weniomeles bodinieri.[1]
