Eucalyptus ebbanoensis, the sandplain mallee, is a mallee eucalypt native to Western Australia. Mature trees are usually 2.5–6 m high, occasionally up to 9 m. It may flower from September to November.

Sandplain mallee has been found in various places, including areas near the Wongan Hills, Norseman, and between Kalgoorlie and Menzies. These are areas of predominantly winter rainfall with an annual average of 250–400 mm. It grows mainly in red sand, and sometimes on lateritic hills.

The bark is smooth, light-brown to grey. Distinctive features include pear-shaped buds in threes; shining, red-brown fruit; leaves mostly alternate.
