Grevillea pimeleoides is a shrub which is endemic to the south west region of Western Australia.
It grows to between 0.6 and 2.5 metres in height and produces flowers between July and November (mid winter to late spring) in its native range. These are light orange in bud becoming yellow in flower, ageing to orange. The leaves are elliptic to obovate and are 2 to 6.5 cm long and 7 to 20 mm wide.
The species was first formally described in Journal and Proceedings of the Mueller Botanic Society of Western Australia in 1902, the type observed growing in a "rocky spot on [a] hill-side between Smith's Mill and Helena River".
It is classified as Priority Four Flora (Rare) under the Wildlife Conservation Act in Western Australia.
