E. wandoo was first described in 1934 by the Australian botanist William Faris Blakely in his book A Key to the Eucalypts using material collected by the English collector Augustus Frederick Oldfield from a sand plain along the Kalgan River. As of January 2023[update], Plants of the World Online lists Eucalyptus redunca var. elata as a taxonomic synonym of E. wandoo.
The range of the tree extends from Morawa in the north extending south through the Darling Range down to around the Stirling Range to the south coast near the Pallinup River. There is an outlying population found to the east of Narembeen at Twine Reserve. It is native to the following IBRA bioregions: Geraldton Sandplains and Avon Wheatbelt in the north through the Swan Coastal Plain and Jarrah Forest to the Esperance Plains and Mallee in the south.
E. wandoo was listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as of 2019[update] as a result of its severely fragmented population.
