Ficus microcarpa, also known as Chinese banyan, Malayan banyan, Indian laurel, curtain fig, or gajumaru （ガジュマル）, is a tree in the fig family Moraceae.
It is native in a range from China through tropical Asia and the Caroline Islands to Australia.
It is widely planted as a shade tree and frequently misidentified as F. retusa or as F. nitida （syn. F. benjamina）.

Hill's weeping fig was first formally described as a species, Ficus hillii, by Frederick Manson Bailey in the Botany Bulletin of the Queensland Department of Agriculture, based on the type specimen collected in the "scrubs of tropical Queensland'".
In 1965, it was reassigned by E. J .
H. Corner as a variety of F. microcarpa, namely F. microcarpa var.
hillii.

The largest known specimen is Auntie Sarah's Banyan at the Menehune Botanical Gardens near Nawiliwili, Kauai, Hawai'i which is 110.
