Grevillea acanthifolia is a shrub which is endemic to New South Wales in Australia.
It grows up to 3 metres in height and has divided leaves. The "toothbrush" flowers have a green to grey perianth with a pink to maroon style and green tip. These appear from mid spring to late summer (October to February in Australia).
The type specimen was collected by botanist Allan Cunningham who accompanied John Oxley on his 1817 expedition. Cunningham found the species growing in "peaty bogs on the Blue Mountains and [the] banks of Cox's River". The species was first formally described by him in 1825.
Three subspecies have been identified as follows:
- Grevillea acanthifolia A.Cunn. subsp. acanthifolia
- Grevillea acanthifolia subsp. paludosa Makinson & Albr. (Bog Grevillea)
- Grevillea acanthifolia subsp. stenomera (F.Muell. ex Benth.) McGill.
