Eucalyptus diversifolia, commonly known as the soap mallee, South Australian coastal mallee or the coastal white mallee, is a eucalypt that is native to an area along the southern coast of Australia.

The mallee typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 8 metres (2 to 26 ft) and has smooth bark. The tree blooms between July and September or Desember to January and produces white to cream-yellow flowers.

The range of the mallee extends from the coastal area of the Goldfields-Esperance region in Western Australia through the south coast of South Australia and as far east as the south west of Victoria. It is one of the most wide-spread mallee species in Australia.

The tree is suitable to produce large amounts of biomass, able to make 10 to 20 metric tons (11 to 22 short tons) per hectare per year. In wheatbelt regions it is also beneficial as the tree will reduce salinity, give shade to stock, act as a windbreak and reduce erosion.
