Shorea kudatensis' extent of occurrence (EOO) is over 19,000 km2, and includes to Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Penyu, Kudat, Labuan, Papar, and Pitas districts. It has an estimated area of occupancy (AOO) of 92 km2. It was formerly recorded in northeastern Sabah, but has likely been extirpated from there. [1]

It is locally common in mixed dipterocarp forest on dry hills near the seacoast. [1]
