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

It is a woody shrub with pointed, linear leaves and in spring, heads of yellow flowers which turn red as they age.

[2][3] The specific epithet (subulata) is derived from the Latin word subula meaning "an awl"[4] referring to the shape of the staminodes.

[3] This verticordia occurs in the area between the Beaufort River, Kalgan, Lake King and the Stirling Range National Park, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions.

[5][6] It grows in clay and sand, sometimes over laterite soils, on flats and rises in heath, shrubland and open woodland.
