Melaleuca seriata is a shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

In describing it, John Lindley wrote "Melaleuca seriata, parviceps, and trichophylla, are bushes, every twig of which is terminated by hemispherical heads of a brilliant pink."

[2][3] Melaleuca seriata was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.

[2] This melaleuca occurs in and between the Coorow, Green Head, Perth, Bunbury, Wyalkatchem and Lake King districts[2][3] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.

[7] Melaleuca seriata has been successfully cultivated in well-drained soil in temperate areas with low humidity.
