Ptilotus pedleyanus is a flowering of the family Amaranthaceae and is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It was first formally described in 1982 by Gerhard Benll and Hansjörg Eichler in the journal Brunonia from specimens collected on the edge of a scarp north-east of Barcaldine in 1975. The specific epithet (pedleyanus) honours Leslie Pedley, "Assistant Director of the Queensland Herbarium"', who supplied the authors with Ptilotus material.
Ptilotus pedleyanus grows on breakaways, and other stony hills between Winton, Aramac and Quilpie with Acacia catenulata and species of Eremophila.
