Grevillea hakeoides is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to a large area in the Mid West and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia.

The spreading multi-branched shrub typically grows to a height of 0.4 to 3 metres (1 to 10 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple linear undissected leaves with a blade that is 30 to 100 millimetres (1 to 4 in) in length and 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.02 to 0.06 in) wide. It blooms from July to October and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with white, pink or grey flowers. Later it forms an oblong or ovoid fruit that is 7 to 12 mm (0.3 to 0.5 in).

There are two recognised subspecies:

  • Grevillea hakeoides subsp. hakeoides
