Grevillea alpivaga, also known as buffalo grevillea, is a species of the plant genus Grevillea. It is endemic to Victoria in Australia. The species grows as an erect to prostrate shrub, between 0.3 and 1 metre in height. Flowers usually appear between October and February (mid spring to late summer) in its native range. These have pale green, white or cream perianths and styles which are white to pale pink, becoming red.
It is very similar in appearance to both Grevillea gariwerdensis and Grevillea neurophylla subsp. neurophylla.
The species was first formally described by French botanist Michel Gandoger in the Bulletin de la Société Botanique de France in 1919, from plant material collected from the Victorian Alps.
The species occurs in Eucalyptus woodland on Mount Buffalo and towards Porepunkah. It is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.
