Myrmecia ferruginea is an Australian ant which belongs to the genus Myrmecia. This species is native to Australia. The Myrmecia ferrguinea has been notably distributed in Queensland.[2]

Being described in 1876 by Mayr, the Myrmecia ferruginea has a similar identity to the M. nigriceps.[3] The appearance of the Myrmecia ferruginea is mostly a reddish like colour. It was once assumed to be a colour variant of the M. nigriceps as well.[4]
