Grevillea crowleyae is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to an area in the south west corner of the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 1.5 metres (2 to 5 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple flat dissected leaves that are 40 to 55 millimetres (1.6 to 2.2 in) long and 1 to 1.2 mm (0.04 to 0.05 in) wide. The inflorescence is raceme with irregular grey flowers that appear from August to November. It will produce a red-brown hairy oblong fruit that is 13 to 16 mm (0.5 to 0.6 in) long.

G. crowleyae grows in a disturbed site in Eucalyptus wandoo forest in heavily laterised gravelly loam soil. It will regenerate from seed only.
