Corymbia arnhemensis, commonly known as the Katherine Gorge bloodwood, is a bloodwood native to the Northern Territory.

The tree typically grows to a height of 15 metres (49 ft) and forms a lignotuber. It has rough grey to grey brown bark that is tessellated over the lower trunk. The adult leaves are alternate with lanceolate to falcate blades that are 7.5 to 18 centimetres (3 to 7 in) long and 0.8 to 2.5 cm (0.3 to 1.0 in) wide.[1]
