Grevillea subtiliflora is an shrub of the genus Grevillea native to an area in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.[1]

The erect to spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 metres (4.9 to 8.2 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple, dissected leaves with a blade that is 25 to 45 millimetres (0.98 to 1.77 in). It blooms between July and October and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with green or white flowers and white styles. Later it forms rugose oblong to ellipsoidal glabrous fruit that are 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 in) long.[1] It regenerates from seed only.

The shrub is often confused with Grevillea intricata which has a glabrous inner perianth surface and more tangled foliage.[2]

G. subtiliflora is found in shrubland amongst medium to low trees. It is confined the Paynes Find area and grows well in red clay and loam soils.[2]
