White Mountain Gum ("Eucalyptus dalrympleana") is a tree from the genus Eucalyptus. It is a tall tree, growing up to 50m in favourable conditions but is small and irregular in poor soils. The bark is smooth, darkening to salmon pink or light brown before flaking off to reveal new pure white bark. The flowers are white, in umbels of three and are a good source of honey in summer.

The species occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
