Grevillea barklyana, also known as Gully Grevillea or Large-leaf Grevillea, is a tree which is endemic to an area near Labertouche, Victoria in Australia. It grows up to 8 metres in height and flowers between October and December (mid spring to early summer) in its native range. These have whitish pink to fawn perianths and pale pink to pale crimson styles.
The species was first formally described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, his description published in Flora Australiensis in 1870. The specific epithet honours Sir Henry Barkly who was Governor of Victoria between 1856 and 1873.
