Hakea pendens is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and endemic to a small area in the Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia.

The branchlets are densely covered in silky, flattened hairs until flowering and then the surface becoming whitish and waxy.

The terete, dark green leaves are 2–4 cm (0.8–2 in) long and about 2 mm (0.08 in) wide, crowded, stiff, and densely covered with silky, rusty coloured, flattened hairs, ending with a sharp point 2.5 mm (0.098 in) long.

[3][4][5] Hakea pendens was first formally described in 1990 by Robyn Mary Barker and the description was published in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Garden from a specimen collected near Marvel Loch.

[7] Hakea pendens is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife[2] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
