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

[2] Melaleuca zeteticorum was first formally described in 2004 by Lyndley Craven and Brendan Lepschi in Australian Systematic Botany.

[3][4] The specific epithet (zeteticorum) is from the Greek ζητητικός or zētētikós, meaning "disposed to search"[5] "in honour of these persons who for their enjoyment explore natural vegetation communities to become familiar with their constituent species".

[2][6] Melaleuca zeteticorum is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

[2] This plant may have potential for growing on semi-saline soils in subarid regions and is suitable as an ornamental shrub in such areas.
