Eucalyptus yalatensis, commonly known as the Yalata mallee,[1] is a mallee that is native to the south coast of Western Australia[2] and South Australia.[3]

The mallee typically grows to a height of 4 metres (13 ft) or it can have the form of a procumbent or low sprawling shrub with a diameter up to 7 metres (23 ft) and forms a lignotuber.[3] The tree has brown grey rough fibrous to flaky bark. It blooms between October and February producing inflorescences with white-cream coloured flowers.

In Western Australia it is found in coastal and near-coastal areas in the Goldfields-Esperance region growing sandy soils over limestone.[2]
