Genoplesium woollsii, commonly known as the dark midge-orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to New South Wales.

Genoplesium woollsii is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herb with a single cylindrical, glabrous leaf fused to the flowering stem.

[6][7] In 1989, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Genoplesium woollsii.
