Mirbelia depressa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect or spreading, prickly shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.15–1 m (5.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in) high and has yellow or orange and reddish-brown flowers from August to October. It was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in the Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie. The specific epithet (depressa) means "pressed down", referring to the low habit of this species.
