Baeckea uncinella is a shrub found along the south coast Western Australia. The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.4 to 1.5 metres (1.3 to 4.9 ft). It blooms between October and November producing white flowers. It is found along the edges of salt lakes, saline creeks and salt pans in the coastal parts of the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia in a small area centred around Esperance where it grows in sandy or clay loam soils. The species was first formally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1867 in the work Flora Australiensis
