Daviesia benthamii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the west of Western Australia.

It is an erect, bushy shrub with scattered, cylindrical, sharply pointed phyllodes, and yellow-orange and reddish-brown flowers.

Flowering occurs from July to September and the fruit is a flattened broadly egg-shaped or triangular pod 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long.

[2][3] Daviesia benthamii was first formally described in 1844 by Carl Meissner in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected at the Swan River by James Drummond.

[6] This species of pea grows in mallee, woodland and shrubland and occurs from the Ningaloo Coast to the Darling Range in the south to Merredin in the east, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Yalgoo biogeographic regions in the west of Western Australia.
