Ehretia pranomiana sp. nov. is illustrated and described from northern and south‐western Thailand. The new species is similar to E. macrophylla and E. acuminata by having elliptic leaves with a serrate margin, but can be distinguished by being a scrambling shrub with densely hispid leaf blades, corymbose inflorescence with 4–10 flowers, corolla with erect lobes and calyx longer than fruit at maturity. An updated identification key to the species of Ehretia known from Thailand is provided.
