Persoonia tropica is a plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to north Queensland.

It is an erect shrub to small tree shrub with branchlets that are hairy when young, narrow elliptic to lance-shaped leaves and yellow flowers in groups of three to ten on a rachis 3–10 mm (0.12–0.39 in) long that continues to grow after flowering.

[2][3][4] Persoonia tropica was first formally described in 1994 by Peter Weston and Lawrie Johnson in the journal Telopea from specimens collected in 1991 near Koombooloomba Dam.

[4][5] This geebung grows in forest at altitudes from 700 to 1,200 m (2,300 to 3,900 ft) on the Herberton Range, near Ravenshoe and the catchment of the upper Tully River in north Queensland.

[3] Persoonia tropica is listed as of "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.
