Pimelea villifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, dense shrub usually with linear to narrowly elliptic leaves arranged in opposite pairs, and compact heads of many white flowers usually surrounded by 6 to 10 pairs of green and yellowish, narrowly egg-shaped involucral bracts.
This pimelea grows in sand near the coast but in laterite on ranges further inland, and in sand in areas still further inland. It occurs from north of Morawa to near Jurien Bay and inland to Tammin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
