Goodenia subsolana is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to Queensland.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown who gave it the name Velleia pubescens in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.

[4][5] In 2020, Kelly Anne Shepherd and others transferred it to the genus Goodenia but the name G. pubescens was unavailable as it was preoccupied by a species described by Sieber ex Spreng., now known as Scaevola albida.

The specific apithet (subsolana) means "eastern-oriental", referring to the distribution of this species near coastal habitats of Queensland, in eastern Australia.

[7] Goodenia subsolana is found near Shoalwater Bay and around Herberton in eastern Queensland.
