Hakea undulata, commonly known as wavy-leaved hakea, is a shrub that is native to the south-west of Western Australia.[2] It is also naturalised in South Australia.[1] Plants are erect and often straggly in habit, growing to between 1 and 2 metres in height and has leaves with scalloped edges.[1] Cream flowers are produced in axillary racemose inflorescences between July and October in its native range.[2]

The species was formally described by botanist Robert Brown in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London in 1810.[1]
