Eriochilus paludosus is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of South Australia. It is a slender ground orchid with a ground-hugging, prostrate, egg-shaped leaf and one or two small, white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink, growing in fern thickets in peaty bogs.
This orchid grows among dense shrubs and fern thickets in peaty bogs, but is only known from the southern Mount Lofty Ranges especially on the Fleurieu Peninsula. It was also seen on the western end of Kangaroo Island before 1990.
