Eucalyptus baxteri, commonly known as brown stringybark is a eucalypt which is native to Australia's south-east, occurring from southern New South Wales through Victoria and into the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island of eastern South Australia. It is a medium-sized tree which can reach 40 m in height. The rough stringy bark is grey - brown in colour. The broad juvenile leaves are 13 cm by 8 cm, while the leathery adult leaves are 13 cm by 3 cm and lanceolate or falcate and green in colour. Flowering occurs from December to April and the white profuse flowers are up to 2 cm in diameter.

The seeds from trees of this species that are over 100 years old are an important source of food for the endangered Red-tailed Black Cockatoo.
