Melaleuca is a remote locality (former settlement) in the south-west area of Tasmania, Australia.

The locality now consists of a couple of buildings and a bird hide where the orange-bellied parrot can be viewed, and is a tourist attraction.

Melaleuca has a gravel airstrip, which is used by small aircraft, which service hiking needs and which bring tourists to the remote South West Wilderness region of the state.

From the 1930s until the area gained World Heritage status, Melaleuca had been the location leased for mining ventures.

King also built the walkers' accommodation and airstrip and in 1975 was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to the community.
