Banksia obtusa, commonly known as shining honeypot,[2] is a species of shrub that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It has underground stems, linear pinnatifid leaves with triangular lobes on each side, cream-coloured to yellow flowers in heads of up to seventy, surrounded by dark reddish bracts and egg-shaped follicles.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown who gave it the name Dryandra obtusa and published the description in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.

[4][5] The specific epithet (obtusa) is from a Latin word meaning "blunt", referring either to the leaves or the leaf lobes.

[2][3] This banksia is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
