Thryptomene micrantha, commonly known as ribbed thryptomene, is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is a spreading to erect shrub with egg-shaped leaves, the narrower end towards the base, and white flowers with five petals and five stamens.
Ribbed thryptomene occurs in scattered populations in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, growing in heath or woodland, sometimes in shrubland on rocky slopes. In Victoria it occurs in the region of the Gippsland Lakes, while in Tasmania populations are mostly confined to the Freycinet National Park. In South Australia it is found mainly on the Eyre and Yorke peninsulas.
