Cryptandra intermedia is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

It is a small shrub, usually with spiny branchlets, elliptic to linear leaves and spike-like clusters of white, tube-shaped flowers.

[6] The specific epithet (intermedia ) means "coming between", referring to the floral morphology of this species in relation to others in the genus.

[5] Cryptandra intermedia grows in rocky and undulating places, on slopes and hilltops, in winter-wet sites and along creeks, mostly between Cockleshell Gully, Mount Peron, Gingin and Moora in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

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