Babingtonia cherticola is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

[2][3] Babingtonia cherticola was first formally described in 2015 by Barbara Rye and Malcolm Trudgen in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected near Moora in 1993.

[4] The specific epithet (cherticola) means "chert-dweller", referring to the species usually growing on chert hills.

[2][5] This species mostly grows in a range of habitats between Watheroo National Park and Watheroo on chert hills, and near Badgingarra and Cataby on sandplain or in sand over laterite, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3] Babingtonia cherticola is listed as "Priority Three" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[3] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
