Caleana dixonii, commonly known as the sandplain duck orchid is a rare species of orchid endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has a single smooth leaf and a single greenish yellow and fawn-coloured flower. It is distinguished by its flattened labellum with calli only near the tip of the labellum and its preference for growing on sandplains.
Caleana dixonii grows in sandy shrubland between Dongara and the Moore River National Park in the Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.
