Banksia obovata, commonly known as Wedge-leaved Dryandra, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.

It was known as Dryandra cuneata until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named Banksia cuneata (Matchstick Banksia), Mast and Thiele had to choose a new specific epithet; their choice, "obovata", is from the Latin ob- ("inverse") and ovum ("egg"), in reference to the obovate leaves.
