Grevillea rhyolitica, also known as Deua grevillea, is a shrub which is endemic to south-eastern New South Wales in Australia. It grows to between 0.5 and 2 metres in height.[2]

The species was segregated from Grevillea victoriae by Bob Makinson in 1997. There are currently two recognised subspecies:[3]

  • G. rhyolitica subsp. rhyolitica
  • G. rhyolitica subsp. semivestita

The specific epiphet rhyolitica reflects the association of this species with rhyolite outcrops.[3]
