Microcachrys tetragona (Creeping Pine or Creeping Strawberry Pine)is a species of dioecious conifers belonging to the podocarp family (Podocarpaceae). It is the sole species of the genus Microcachrys. The plant is endemic to western Tasmania where it is a low shrub growing to 1 m tall at high altitudes. Its leaves are scale-like arranged (unusually for the Podocarpaceae) in opposite decussate pairs superficially resembling those of the unrelated Diselma archeri (Cupressaceae).
