Rubroboletus dupainii, commonly known as Dupain's bolete, is a bolete fungus of the genus Rubroboletus. It is native to Europe, where it is threatened, and red listed in six countries.[3] It also occurs in North America, although it is rare there.[4] It was first recorded from North Carolina, and then from Iowa in 2009.[5] It was reported from Belize in 2007, growing under Quercus peduncularis - a species of oak tree.[6]

The bolete was first described scientifically by French mycologist Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1902.[7] It was transferred to the new genus Rubroboletus in 2014 along with several other allied reddish colored, blue-staining bolete species.[8] Phylogenetically, R. dupainii is the sister species of Rubroboletus lupinus.[9]
