Patersonia limbata is a species of plant in the iris family Iridaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia.

The flowering scape is 270–380 mm (11–15 in) long and glabrous with two short, pale-coloured leaves.

[2] Patersonia limbata was first described in 1846 by Stephan Endlicher in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected near Albany in 1840.

[5] This patersonia grows in heath, scrub and woodland in scattered locations on the southern Darling Range and in near-coastal areas from Albany to the Cape Arid National Park.

[2][6] Patersonia limbata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
