Kunzea micrantha is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, endemic to the south west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub which typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1.5 metres (1 to 5 ft), usually with many mains stems with a moderate number of thin, wiry side branches. It blooms between September and December producing pink-purple to white-cream flowers. It is similar to Kunzea micromera and K. praestans, sometimes forming hybrids with those species and is difficult to distinguish from them where the ranges overlap. It is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife but subspecies hirtiflora is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife. It is found in wet depressions and marshes in coastal areas in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions, growing in sandy, clay and loamy soils.
