Verticordia argentea is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Verticordia argentea is an erect, usually open, spindly shrub which grows to a height of 1–3 m (3–10 ft) with a single main stem.

[1][3] The specific epithet (argentea) is derived from the Latin word argentum meaning "silver"[4] referring to the silvery fringe on the sepals.
