'''''Grevillea arenaria''''' is a [[shrub]] which is endemic to the south-west of [[New South Wales]] in [[Australia]]. It has an erect to spreading habit and grows to between 1 and 3 metres in height. Its leaves are 1.5 to 7 cm long and 3 to 15 mm in width. The flowers, which occur in groups of 2 to 10, are pink, red or orange, with green or yellow at the base and green styles. These occur year round, with a major flourish in spring.
The species was first formally described by botanist [[Robert Brown (botanist)|Robert Brown]] in ''[[Transactions of the Linnean Society of London]]'' in 1810.
There are currently two recognised [[subspecies]]:
* ''G. arenaria'' R.Br. subsp. ''arenaria''
* ''G. arenaria'' subsp. ''canescens'' (R.Br.) Olde & Marriott
A former subspecies, known as ''G. arenaria'' subsp. montana (R.Br.) McGill., is currently treated as a species in its own right -
''[[Grevillea montana|G. montana]]'' R.Br.
It occurs on sandy soils in open forests in the [[Great Dividing Range]], its southernmost extent in line with [[Narooma, New South Wales|Narooma]] and its northernmost extent in line with [[Sydney]].
