Melaleuca keigheryi is a shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae with white, papery bark and is endemic to the west coast of Western Australia.

Flowering occurs between August and October and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules, 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long in roughly spherical clusters around the stem.

[2][3] Melaleuca keigheryi was first formally described in 1999 by Lyndley Craven in Australian Systematic Botany from a specimen collected near Shark Bay.

[2] Melaleuca keigheryi occurs in the Shark Bay district[2] in the Carnarvon and Yalgoo biogeographic regions where it grows in sand and clay on flats and near roads.

[6] Melaleuca keigheryi is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
