'''''Xylopia maccreae''''', commonly known as '''orange jacket''' or '''MacCrea's xylopia''', is a plant in the custard apple family Annonaceae found only in coastal areas of north and central Queensland, Australia. It is an evergreen tree up to {{cvt|10|m}} tall with small buttresses, and young shoots covered in silky hairs. It was first described in 1868 as ''Melodorum maccreae'' by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, and transferred to the genus ''Xylopia'' in 1956 by Lindsay Stuart Smith. It is one of the food plants for the green-spotted triangle (''Graphium agamemnon'').{{R|RFK|FOA}}
