Beyeria lechenaultii (common name - pale turpentine bush) is a species of dioecious (rarely monoecious) flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, that is endemic to Australia.

It was first described in 1817 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle as Hemistemma lechenaultii, using a specimen collected on St Francis Island, South Australia but in 1866 Henri Ernest Baillon assigned the species to the genus, Beyeria. The specific epithet, lechenaultii, honours the French botanist, Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour.
