Microcachrys tetragona, the creeping pine or creeping strawberry pine, is a species of dioecious conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is the sole species of the genus Microcachrys, endemic to western Tasmania, where it is a low shrub growing to 1 m tall at high elevations. Its leaves are scale-like, arranged (unusually for the Podocarpaceae) in opposite decussate pairs, superficially resembling those of the unrelated Diselma archeri (Cupressaceae). It shares the common name creeping pine with several other plants. Females produce tiny, red, edible berries in summer.
