Leichhardtia tubulosa is a species of plant of unknown habit in the dogbane family, first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1875 as Marsdenia tubulosa. It is endemic to Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. It is known only from a single collection, made in 1871 on the summit of Mount Gower, and is believed to be extinct.
