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

[2][3] Babingtonia erecta was first formally described in 2015 by Barbara Rye and Malcolm Trudgen in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected west of Three Springs in 2003.

[4] The specific epithet (erecta) means "upright", referring to the form of the plant and distinguishing it from B.

[2] This species is found from near Arrino and south-east to Gunyidi and south-west to the Gairdner Range, and grows on lateritic ridges or on hillsides, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3] Babingtonia erecta is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
