Maireana polypterygia, commonly known as many-winged bluebush or Gascoyne bluebush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, and is endemic to the north-west of Western Australia. It is a rounded, usually dioecious shrub with woolly branchlets, almost terete to spoon-shaped leaves, glabrous flowers arranged singly, and a glabrous fruiting perianth with several papery, imperfectly developed horizontal wings.
Many-winged bluebush usually grows clay, sandy clay and loam in salt marshes, between Exmouth Gulf and Shark Bay in the Carnarvon and Gascoyne bioregions of north-western Western Australia.
