Grevillea gariwerdensis is a species of the plant genus Grevillea. It is endemic to Victoria in Australia.[2] The species grows as a low, suckering shrub, between 0.3 and 1 metre in height. [2] Flowers usually appear between October and January (mid spring to mid summer) in its native range.[2] These have perianths and styles which are white to pink.[2] It is very similar in appearance to both Grevillea micrantha and Grevillea parviflora. The name Grevillea linearifolia has been misapplied to this species in the past.[2]

The species occurs on sandy soils in low moist heaths within Grampians National Park.[2] The species is listed as "Poorly known in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[3]
