Kennedia coccinea, commonly known as coral vine,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Kennedia coccinea is a twining, climbing or prostrate shrub, with stems up to 4 mm (0.16 in) in diameter covered with white to ginger-coloured hairs.

[3][4][5] This species was first formally described in 1794 by William Curtis who gave it the name Glycine coccinea in his Botanical Magazine from plants raised "in the neighbourhood of London from Botany-Bay seeds".

[7][8] In 1805, Étienne Pierre Ventenat changed the name to Kennedia coccinea in his book Jardin de la Malmaison.

[5] All three subspecies of K. coccinea are listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
