Scaevola nitida (common name - shining fanflower) is an erect shrub in the family Goodeniaceae, native to Western Australia.

[4] Scaevola nitida is a spreading shrub growing up to 3 m tall, glabrous, and is sticky when young.

The leaves have no stalk and are obovate to narrowly elliptic, and toothed, with the leaf blade itself being from 2 to 8.7 cm long by 7–40 mm wide.

The blue to lilac corolla is 13–20 mm long, pilose or glabrous outside, and bearded inside.

[4] It was first described and named by Robert Brown in 1810,[1][2] and its specific epithet, nitida, is a Latin adjective meaning "shining".
