Grevillea miniata, commonly known as the sandstone grevillea,[1] is a shrub or small tree between 1.8 and 5 metres in height which is native to Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It has yellow or orange flowers and holly-like leaves.[2][3][4]

The species was formally described in 1906, based on plant material collected from Mount Leake in the western part of the Kimberley.[2]
