Hibbertia pedunculata, commonly known as stalked Guinea-flower, is a small shrub that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It may be near-prostrate or grow up to 30 cm tall and has narrow leaves that are 3 to 6 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide. Yellow flowers appear from spring until autumn.
The species was first formally described in 1817 by botanist Robert Brown in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale. It occurs in open forest in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
