Olearia teretifolia is an Australian plant in the genus Olearia. Its common name is cypress daisy bush.
It is a light open shrub reaching a maximum height of 1.5m. Its rodlike leaves are about 6mm long. White daisy-like flowers about 6mm in diameter cover the bush in August to October.
It is typically found in box-ironbark forests, ranging from South Australia across Victoria.
Under cultivation, it can be pruned after flowering to encourage a bushy shape. It is frost-resistant.
