Melaleuca thyoides, commonly known as salt lake honey-myrtle is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is an erect shrub with grey, papery or fibrous bark and very small, overlapping leaves on thin branchlets.

[5][6] The specific epithet (thyoides) is in reference to the leaves resembling those of Thuja, a genus of plant in the cypress family, Cupressaceae.

[7] It grows in clay or sandy soils near the edges of salt lakes and along river banks.

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