Hakea bakeriana is a shrub which is endemic to forest and heathland areas on the central coast of New South Wales (from Newcastle to the Hawkesbury River), Australia. It is threatened by urban and road development.
It grows to about 1 to 2 metres in height and width and has pinkish-white to pink coloured flowers in axillary clusters that appear from late autumn to early spring. These are followed by woody seed capsules which are approximately 7 cm long and 4 cm wide. The leaves are narrow and about 1-1.5 mm in diameter and up to 7 cm in length.
