Corymbia pachycarpa, commonly known as the Urn-fruited bloodwood, is a member of the Corymbia genus native to northern Australia.

The Jaru peoples know the tree as mawurru, yilanggi or warlamarn.

The tree typically grows to a height of 3 to 8 metres (10 to 26 ft) and has thick, rough, fissured and tessellated light grey-brown to red-brown bark. It has a mallee habit and forms a lignotuber. The leaves are dull, yellow-green to light green to grey-green, concolorous and smooth with an ovate to lanceolate with a blade that is 4 to 12 centimetres (1.6 to 4.7 in) long and 1.7 to 5 cm (0.67 to 1.97 in) wide. It blooms in December producing terminal but sometimes leafy inflorescences with white flowers and peduncles that are rounded or angled and 0.5 to 3.2 cm (0.20 to 1.26 in) long.

It's range extends from the Great Sandy Desert in near [Western Australia east through the fringes of the Tanami Desert to Wave Hill Station in the [Northern Territory]].
