Calochilus caesius is a species of orchid endemic to the Northern Territory in Australia. It has a single leaf which is not present during flowering and up to five pale green, very short-lived flowers with a bluish-red "beard". The flowers are 12-15 mm long and 10-12 mm wide and the labellum is flat, pale green and red, 12-13 mm long and 3.5-5.5 mm wide with bluish red hairs up to 2 mm covering about three quarters of the labellum. It grows in swampy places with rushes and sedges in the far north of the Northern Territory including Garig Gunak Barlu National Park, Kakadu National Park and Melville Island. It was first formally described in 2004 by David Jones and the specific epithet (caesius) is a Latin word meaning "bluish gray".
