'''''Musgravea''''' is a genus of rainforest tree from northeastern [[Queensland]].

It was published in 1890 by [[Ferdinand von Mueller]], and named in honour of Sir [[Anthony Musgrave]], [[Governor of Queensland]] from 1883 to 1888. Together with its closest relative ''[[Austromuellera]]'', it lies within the subtribe [[Musgraveinae]] of tribe [[Banksieae]] in the subfamily [[Grevilleoideae]] of family [[Proteaceae]]. After ''Austromuellera'', its closest relative is ''[[Banksia]]''.<ref name="Hyland 1999">{{cite encyclopedia | last = Hyland | first = B. P.
