Corymbia polycarpa or the long-fruited bloodwood (also known as Eucalyptus polycarpa) is a bloodwood native to Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales; more specifically it is found across northern Australia and into northwestern New South Wales.

It is a medium-sized tree which can reach 10–18 m in height with a 5–12 m spread. The bark is tesselated, flaky and brownish in colour. The elliptic to lanceolate juvenile leaves are 5–8 cm by 2-2.5 cm, while the coarse adult leaves are 10–20 cm by 1–3 cm and lanceolate. Flowering occurs from December to June and the white or cream flowers are up to 2 cm in diameter.
