Thryptomene kochii is a shrub species in the family Myrtaceae that is endemic to Western Australia. It typically grows to a height of 0.6 to 3 metres (2 to 10 ft). It blooms between May and October producing pink-white flowers. This thryptomene is found on plains in the Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy to loamy soils.^[2]

This species was first formally described in 1911 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in the journal Repertorium specierum novarum regni vegetabilis from specimens collected by Max Koch near Cowcowing in 1904.^[3]^[4] The specific epithet (kochii) honours the collector of the type specimens.^[5]
