"Eucalyptus pseudoglobulus", commonly known as Gippsland Blue Gum, is a Eucalypt species native to Victoria and the southeastern corner of New South Wales, Australia. It is called also Victorian Eurabbie, Bastard Eurabbie, and Blue Gum.

It is a tree growing to 40 m tall. Bark is mostly smooth, shedding in long strips to leave a white or greyish surface; sometimes with rough, partially shed bark at the base. The juvenile leaves are to 23 cm long and 11 cm broad, and the adult leaves to 35 cm long and 3 cm broad. The inflorescence is 3 (or rarely 7) flowered.

Many botanists consider "Eucalyptus pseudoglobulus" a subspecies of "Eucalyptus globulus". This is supported by Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne [cite web | url = http://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/dbpages/viclist/cd/ | title = A Census of the Vascular Plants of Victoria | publisher = Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne] , but not by Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney [cite web | url = http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/floraonline.htm | title = Flora of New South Wales | publisher = Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney] where it is considered a distinct species.
