Kunzea jucunda is a shrub in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, where it occurs on sandy or rocky soils of undulating plains.[2]

It grows to between 0.6 and 1.2 metres in height and produces pink or purple flowers between August and October in its native range.[2]

The species was first formally described by Ludwig Diels and Ernst Pritz in 1904.[1]
