Trochocarpa gunnii is a species of flowering plant of the family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania.

It is a common, tall, rainforest understorey shrub with broadly oblong leaves and small, dense spikes of white, sometimes pink or red, glabrous flowers and purple to orange drupes.

The petals are white, pink or red and glabrous, joined at the base to for a bell-shaped tube 3.2 mm (0.13 in) long and longer than the sepals, the petal-lobe short.

[7] This species can be confused with Trochocarpa cunninghamii, which is a low growing, scrambling shrub with red flowers, and is more commonly found at high altitudes.

[10] The closest relatives of Trochocarpa gunnii appear to be Monotoca scoparia and Montitega dealbata,[11] both of which occur in Tasmania.
