Hakea elliptica, commonly known as the oval-leaf hakea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae. It is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. A fast growing adaptable species with ornamental wavy leaves, golden bronze new growth and an abundance of showy white flowers. A good wildlife habitat due to its dense form with foliage to ground level.
It is found in an area along the south coast in the Great Southern region of Western Australia between Denmark and just east of Albany where it grows on sandy soils over granite. It is often found amongst coastal heath communities.
