Hypocalymma hirsutum is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south west of Western Australia. It is a low-growing shrub, with leaves arranged in opposite pairs, narrowly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, and bright yellow flowers arranged singly in leaf axils, with usually 80 to 110 stamens in several rows.
This species of Hypocalymma grows in beakaways and hilltops on shrubland, heath or open woodland between Eneabba and Lesueur National Park in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia, where it grows in sandy lateritic soils.
