Eucalyptus lateritica, commonly known as laterite mallee, is a mallee that is native to a small area in Western Australia.
The small mallee has a lignotuber and typically grows to a height of 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) and has rough bark at the base. It blooms between August and October producing white flowers.
It is found on breakaways and mesas in a small area along the west coast in the Wheatbelt region between Coorow and Dandaragan where it grows in sandy-gravelly lateritic soils.
