Calytrix aurea is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with elliptic, lance-shaped or linear leaves and clusters of yellow flowers with 25 to 55 yellow stamens in several rows.
This plant performs best in a sunny position and requires a well-drained situation, such as a built-up rockery. Plants are readily propagated by cuttings.
This species of Calytrix grows in heath on sand, often over laterite and occurs between the Arrowsmith River area and Perth, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
