Eucalyptus argophloia, commonly known as the Queensland western white gum, Queensland white gum, Scrub gum, Lapunyah, Burncluith gum or Chinchilla white gum is a eucalypt that is native to Queensland.
The tree typically grows to a height of 18 to 30 metres (59 to 98 ft) with bark that is white but dappled with grey and brown that sheds in long ribbons. Adult leaves are lanceolate shaped and 8 to 20 millimetres (0.3 to 0.8 in) wide.
The species has a limited range and is known only from a small area north east of Chinchilla where it grows in brown to black clay or clay-loam soils. The number of populations and the total number of plants is unknown. It is often found in association with Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) or Eucalyptus microcarpa on flat terrain in areas that were once open forest.
