Hakea stenophylla is a shrub or tree in the family Proteaceae, with sweetly scented creamy-white flowers.

Hakea stenophylla is a spreading shrub or tree typically growing to 5 metres (16 ft) high with more or less smooth, dark bark.

The branchlets are thickly covered with flattened, soft white hairs, occasionally rusty coloured.

The inflorescence consists of 10 to 16 cream-white, sweetly scented flowers on a peduncle 2–9 mm (0.079–0.354 in) long that is densely covered with white, soft hairs.

[9] Hakea stenophylla is endemic to an area in the Mid West and the Gascoyne regions of Western Australia where it is found on sandplains and among coastal sand dunes where it grows in sandy and loamy soils often around limestone usually with spinifex.
