Eremophila mitchellii, known commonly as false sandalwood and several other names, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia.

It is a glabrous large shrub or small tree with flaky bark, white or cream-coloured flowers and is capable of root suckering.

[2][3][4][5] The species was first formally described in 1848 by the botanist George Bentham and the description was published in Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia.

Native scale insects from the genus Pulvinaria (Hemiptera:Coccidae) have been shown to be able to kill E. mitchellii but need to be physically applied to the plant.

[9] Aboriginal people used false sandalwood to treat rheumatism[10] and the smoke from burning the leaves for general medicinal purposes.

[4] The timber from false sandalwood is suited for woodturning, although it is very hard, and it retains a pleasant scent for a long time, even after sealing.
