Swainsona stipularis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia.

It is a spreading to ascending perennial herb, with imparipinnate leaves with 5 to 11 broadly linear to heart-shaped leaflets, and racemes of mostly 5 to 20 usually orange-red flowers.

[2][3][4][5] Swainsona stipularis was first formally described in 1853 by Ferdinand von Mueller in the journal Linnaea.

[8] This species of pea grows in stony, sandy or clay flats and is common near Broken Hill in New South Wales, widespread in the Flinders Ranges, central northern South Australia, and northwards to the south-west corner of Queensland.

It is rare in Victoria, where it is listed as "critically endangered" under the Victorian Government Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.
