Pimelea sylvestris is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is an erect shrub with narrowly elliptic to elliptic leaves arranged in opposite pairs, and compact heads of white or pink flowers surrounded by 2 or 4 pairs of narrowly egg-shaped involucral bracts.

[2][3][4] Pimelea sylvestris was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.

[7] This pimelea grows in woodland and forest, sometimes in coastal scrub, and occurs between Jurien Bay and West Mount Barren in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3][4] Pimelea sylvestris is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
