Melaleuca orbicularis is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is similar to Melaleuca cordata with its pinkish "pom-pom" heads of flowers but its leaves are smaller, almost circular compared to the heart shaped leaves of the other species.
Melaleuca orbicularis occurs in and between the Coorong, Wongan Hills and Cowcowing districts in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions. It grows in a range of vegetation associations in sand over sandstone and laterite.
