Helicia ferruginea, commonly named hairy weiner or rusty oak, is a species of rainforest trees, of eastern Australia, and constitutes part of the flowering plant family Proteaceae.

As of December 2013 this species has the official, current, Qld government conservation status of "vulnerable" species.

They have been recorded growing up to about 10 m (33 ft) tall.
