Vitex cofassus is a species of woody plant in the family Lamiaceae. Native to New Guinea and the Southwest Pacific islands,[1] "New Guinea teak" is planted for its hardwood, used in construction, in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.[2]

It yields one of two woods from the same genus that are each called Molave Wood, the other being the timber of Vitex parviflora.
