Grevillea drummondii, or Drummond's grevillea, is a shrub which is endemic to the south west region of Western Australia.

It grows to between 0.2 and 1 metre in height and produces flowers between June and December (early winter to early summer) in its native range. These are cream in bud, ageing to pink or red.[1] The leaves are narrow-elliptic to narrow-obovate and are 1 to 3 cm long and 1.5 to 3 mm wide.[1]

The species was first formally described by botanist Carl Meissner, his description published in Plantae Preissianae in 1845.[2] Grevillea pimeleoides and G. centristigma are closely related and were formerly treated as subspecies.[2] Grevillea drummondii is classified as Priority Four Flora (Rare) under the Wildlife Conservation Act in Western Australia.[3]
