Grevillea argyrophylla, the silvery-leaved grevillea, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to south-western Western Australia.
It usually grows to between 1 and 6 metres in height and has a peak flowering period between July and October (mid winter to mid spring) in its native range. The flowers are white, occasionally tinged with pink. The obovate leaves are usually 15 to 60 mm long and 2.5 to 8 mm wide.
The species was first formally described by Carl Meissner in Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany in 1855, from material collected by James Drummond.
