Conospermum capitatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, erect shrub with coiled leaves and head-like panicles of red to pale yellow and hairy, tube-shaped flowers.
Conospermum capitatum is found on hill slopes and winter-wet flat areas in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia where it grows in sandy, loamy and clay soils often over laterite. Subspecies capitatum is found on flats and hillslopes in coastal regions of the south-west, in the Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions, subsp. glabratum on flats, gentle slopes and winter-wet areas and is widespread between Perth and Nannup in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions. Subspecies velutinum grows in sandy soils over laterite, and is common between Albany, Mount Barker and the Porongurup National Park.
