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

Its leaves are linear or club-shaped, almost circular in cross-section, 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in) long with a rounded end and many prominent glands.

[1][3] The specific epithet (helmsii) honours the naturalist Richard Helms who had earlier collected a specimen of this species.

[2] When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991, he placed this species in subgenus Eperephes, section Integripetala along with V. rennieana, V. interioris, V. mirabilis and V.

[5][6] Verticordia helmsii is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
