Eucalyptus pileata, commonly known as the Ravensthorpe mallee or the capped mallee, is a mallee that is native to South Australia and Western Australia.

The mallee typically grows to a height of 8 metres (26 ft) and has smooth grey or brown over light grey or cream bark. It blooms between February to May or September to October producing white flowers.

In Western Australia it is found on sand plains and amongst rocky outcrops in the Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in sandy-loamy soils over granite or ironstone.
