Gazania ciliaris is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native predominantly to the Western Cape province, South Africa, where it occurs from Vanrhynsdorp to the Eastern Cape near Joubertina.

[1] The flowers are variable in colour (usually yellow-to-orange), and born on distinctively setose-to-ciliate (hairy) petioles.

The flower's involucre is glabrous and a sub-cylindrical shape, with a distinctive fleshy truncate base.

These are finely acuminate and the margins of the inner row are distinctly ciliate.

The bases of old dead leaves usually do not persist around the stem as they do in Gazania linearis.
