Callitris preissii is a species of conifer in the family Cupressaceae, endemic to Rottnest Island, Australia.

[5] The leaf is rounded on the dorsal side and the cones often have a width of over 2 cm (0.8 in) with scales that do not separate from the base.

[5] It is endemic to the Swan Coastal Plain, Rottnest Island and Garden Island[5] but has become naturalised elsewhere and now has a scattered distribution throughout the Mid West, Wheatbelt, Peel, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it is found on plains, slopes, the margins of salt lakes and among granite outcrops growing in sandy, loamy or clay soils.

The trunks make ideal fence posts and it has good ornamental attributes.

In urban areas it makes a good ornamental plant, or a free street tree, and is suitable as a screen or hedge.
