Citrus inodora or Microcitrus inodora, commonly known as Russell River Lime,^[2][3] is a tree native to the Bellenden-Ker Range in northern Queensland, Australia.

It grows in lowland tropical rainforest. Much of its native habitat has now been cleared for agricultural use, so the species is becoming quite rare. There has to date been no commercial use of the fruits.^[4]

Citrus inodora is a shrub up to 4 m tall. Fruit is egg-shaped, yellowish-green. Leaves and flowers are essentially odourless, lacking the aromatic oils characteristic of the genus.^[4][5]
