Grevillea hilliana, of the plant family Proteaceae, is a species of Australian endemic trees known by many common names including white yiel yiel, white silky oak, grey oak, Hill's silky oak,^[2] and yill gill.

It is naturally found from north eastern New South Wales, to the north through the east coast, to north eastern Queensland.^[3] In north eastern NSW the species "grows in subtropical rainforest, often on basic igneous substrates, north of Brunswick R."^[4] In north eastern Queensland the species "grows in drier, more seasonal rain forest and is often associated with Kauri Pine (Agathis robusta)."^[2]

Wild trees are found growing to heights of between 8 and 30 metres. White to pale-green flowers open from May to October (late autumn to mid spring) in its native range.
