Zygophyllum album (synonym Tetraena alba) is a species of plant in the family Zygophyllaceae which is found in arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

It is found in a number of different habitats; one of these is "phytogenic hillocks", hummocky landforms typical in areas with blown sands; another is in saline depressions, sometimes as pure stands, and other times as the dominant plant in its community.

Other plants in the salt-tolerant communities in which it lives include Halocnemum strobilaceum, Nitraria retusa and Limonium axillare.

[3] At the Moghra Oasis in the Qattara Depression there is a brackish lake and a Phragmites swamp, and T. alba grows at the perimeter, where the desert plains start.

In the innermost part of this zone it forms hummocks and grows with Tamarix nilotica, Alhagi maurorum and Nitraria retusa.
