Hakea aenigma, commonly known as the Enigma hakea,[1] is a shrub of the genus Hakea native to a small area on the western end of Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

The rounded bushy shrub typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 metres (4.9 to 8.2 ft). It produces suckers from horizontal roots. The glabrescent leaves are flat and linear 5 to 35 centimetres (2 to 14 in) long and 3 to 10 millimetres (0.1 to 0.4 in) wide with prominent longitudinal veins.

It produces cream-white flowers from September to November.[2]
