Eucalyptus paniculata (Grey Ironbark) is a common eucalyptus tree of eastern New South Wales, Australia. A dark trunked forest tree with grey furrowed bark. When in flower, the nectar is attractive to birds and insects, and is used in honey production. The indigenous name in the Sydney region for this tree is Torrangora. The specific epithet paniculata refers to the drooping panicles of flowers. The species first appeared in scientific literature in 1797 in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.

Grey ironbark is a premium native hardwood that has been well regarded as a high quality timber in Australia throughout human history. Indigenous Australians use it to make spear throwers and boil its bark for treating sores.

It is a particularly hard, strong and durable timber, with a broad range of applications, due to its resistance to lyctid borers and termites. At 1120 kilograms per cubic metre, grey ironbark is heavy, dense and can be difficult to work. Dressed surfaces take on a steely sheen.
