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

It is an erect, spindly shrub with elliptic leaves arranged in opposite pairs, and compact heads of many yellow or yellowish-green flowers usually surrounded by 4 to 7 pairs of egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic yellow and green involucral bracts.

[2][3][4] Pimelea tinctoria was first formally described in 1845 by Carl Meissner in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected on mountains near "Wuljenup" (Woogenellup?)

[7] This pimelea grows in sandy soil in shrubland and clearings in near-coastal areas mainly from near Denmark to near Cape Riche, and in the Stirling Range, in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

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