Verticordia forrestii, commonly known as Forrest's featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the north-west of Western Australia.

It is a shrub with small, egg-shaped leaves and massed displays of scented pink to red flowers in spring.

[2] Verticordia forrestii was first formally described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1883 and the description was published in Southern Science Record.

[1][3] The specific epithet (forrestii) honours Forrest, the explorer and statesman who made the type collection near the Gascoyne River in 1882.
