Leptospermum jingera, commonly known as stringybark tea-tree, is a shrub species that is endemic to Victoria in Australia. It grows up to 2 metres high and has small, narrow leaves that are about 10 mm long and 3 mm wide. White flowers with five, rounded petals appear between November and January in the species native range.

The species was first formally described in Australian Systematic Botany in 1996, based on plant material collected from Brumby Point on the Nunniong Plateau in the Alpine National Park. The species is listed as "vulnerable" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.
