Grevillea phillipsiana is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to a few small scattered areas in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

The prickly shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 1.5 metres (2 to 5 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple flat linear undissected leaves with a blade that is 12 to 50 millimetres (0.5 to 2.0 in) long and 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.02 to 0.06 in) wide. It blooms from July to September and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with red flowers and red styles. Later it forms ovoid or ellipsoidal simple hairy fruit that is 15 mm (0.6 in) long.
