Xylosma ovata is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, endemic to a small part of coastal Queensland, Australia. It was first described in 1863 and has the conservation status of near threatened.
The native range of Xylosma ovata is restricted to Central Queensland, Australia, spanning the regions of Gladstone, Isaac, Mackay, Rockhampton, and Whitsunday, and is concentrated along the coast and inshore islands. Notable localities where it occurs include Eurimbula, Rodds Bay, and Turkey Beach in the Gladstone Region; Shoalwater and Stanage in the Rockhampton Region; and the Cumberland Islands within the Mackay Region. In addition to the mainland, its distribution reportedly extends to Lord Howe Island. Although not explicitly stated to have been introduced outside of its native range, it has been allegedly preserved in Bolivia and Indonesia.
