Sprengelia propinqua is a species of flowering plant of the family Ericaceae, and is endemic to Tasmania.

It is an erect, robust shrub with overlapping, stem-clasping, egg-shaped leaves, and white flowers crowded in upper leaf axils.

Sprengelia propinqua is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in).

[2][3] Sprengelia propinqua was first formally described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham of plants he collected near Hobart.

[6] This sprengelia grows in heath and sedge communities in high rainfall areas from sea level to altitudes above 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in Tasmania, including on the Southern and Central Highlands.
