Angophora bakeri, known as the narrow-leaved or small-leaved apple, is a common woodland and forest shrub or tree of eastern Australia. It grows between two and ten metres tall on dry sandy soils. Named in honour of Richard Thomas Baker. Leaves are narrow lanceolate in shape, 6 to 10 cm long and 0.5 to 1 cm wide.

Recently, genetic work has been published showing Angophora to be more closely related to Eucalyptus than Corymbia, and the name Eucalyptus angustata has been proposed for this species if it were to be placed in the eucalypt genus.
