Styphelia xerophylla is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Styphelia xerophylla is an erect, compact shrub that typically grows up to 60 cm (24 in) high and wide, with hairy branchlets from near the base of the plant.

[2] This species was first formally described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle who gave it the name Stomarrhena xerophylla in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from specimens collected near the Swan River Colony by James Drummond.

[6] This species mostly grows in sandy soils in Banksia woodland or heathland in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[7] Styphelia xerophylla is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
