Neofabricia is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the family Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1788, with the name Fabricia. This, however, was an illegitimate homonym, in other words, someone had already used the name to refer to a very different plant. Therefore, this group in the Myrtaceae was renamed Neofabricia. The entire genus is endemic to Queensland.
