"Tecticornia halocnemoides", commonly known as Shrubby Samphire or Grey Glasswort, [*cite book|author=Costermans, L.| title=Native Trees and Shrubs of South-eastern Australia |publisher=Rigby|location=Australia | year=1981 | id=ISBN 072701403x] is a species of succulent, salt tolerant plant endemic to Australia. It grows as a spreading or erect shrub up to fifty centimetres high. It was first published as "Arthrocnemum halocnemoides" in 1845, but transferred into "Halosarcia" in 1980, and into "Tecticornia" in 2007.

It is a highly variable species, with five published subspecies, some of which are themselves highly variable. These are "T. halocnemoides" subsp. "halocnemoides", "T. halocnemoides" subsp. "caudata", "T. halocnemoides" subsp. "longispicata", "T. halocnemoides" subsp. "catenulata" and "T. halocnemoides" subsp. "tenuis". There is also an unpublished putative subspecies, which is currently given the manuscript name "T. halocnemoides" subsp. Lake Grace (N. Casson G231. 10).
