Baeckea robusta is a flowering plant in the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) that is endemic to the west coast of Western Australia. It is an upright, slender shrub that grows about 0.9 to 2.6 metres tall. It blooms from June to December, producing white to white-pink flowers. The plant grows on sand plains and around limestone outcrops in coastal areas of the Mid West and extending south into the north-west Wheatbelt, in sandy soils over laterite or limestone. It was first described in 1864 by Ferdinand von Mueller from specimens collected near the Murchison River by Augustus Oldfield.
