Pityrodia iphthima is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to a small area in Western Australia.

[2] This species is similar to P. augustensis but is distinguished by its relatively glabrous upper leaf surface and longer sepal tube.

[2] Pityrodia iphthima was first formally described in 2007 by Kelly Shepherd from a specimen collected on the Robinson Ranges near Meekatharra and the description was published in Nuytsia.

[1][2] The specific epithet (iphthima) is derived from an Ancient Greek word meaning "strong", "stout" or "stalwart",[3] referring to the harsh, rocky habitat of this species.

[2][4] Pityrodia iphthima is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[4] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
