Grevillea pinifolia, commonly known as the pine-leaved grevillea, is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to a few small areas in the central Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
The many branched shrub typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 0.6 metres (1 to 2 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple linear undissected subterete leaves with a blade that is 20 to 45 millimetres (0.8 to 1.8 in) long and 0.5 to 1 mm (0.02 to 0.04 in) wide. It blooms from July to October and produces an axillary raceme irregular inflorescence with red or orange flowers and red-orange styles. Later it forms ovoid simple hairy fruit that is 10 mm (0.4 in) long. G. pinifolia regenerates from seed only.
Found amongst the medium to low trees in shrubland the shrub is able to grow in gravelly, sandy or loamy soils over laterite. Restircted to a small area in the Wheatbelt between Coorow, Carnamah, Dalwallinu and Moora.
