Orites lancifolius, commonly known as alpine orites, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia.[1][2] The species has a spreading habit and may be a prostrate or up to 2 metres high.[1] The leaves are 1 to 3 cm long, and 5 to 12 mm wide.[1] White to pale yellow flowers appear between December and January (early to mid summer) in its native range.[1] The species was first formally described in 1855 by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller from plant material that he collected "on the rocky summits of the Australian Alps (5-6000 feet high)".[3]

Orites lancifolius occurs in alpine and subalpine areas of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria in heath and tussock grassland amongst granite rocks.
