Calectasia pignattiana, commonly known as the stilted tinsel lily or Pignatti's star of Bethlehem, is a plant in the family Dasypogonaceae growing as a perennial herb and is endemic to the south–west of Western Australia.

Unlike some other members of the genus (such as C. grandiflora) this species lacks a rhizome but has stilt roots 10–60 mm long.

[2] The specific epithet (pignattiana) "honours Professors Erika and Alessandro Pignatti of Rome on the occasion of their seventieth birthdays.

They have contributed greatly to our knowledge of south-west vegetation associations and have collected extensively, including many taxa new to science".

It grows in yellow sand lenses, in kwongan dominated by Proteaceae - a relatively restricted soil type.
