Caladenia littoricola is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It was first formally described in 2015 by Robert Bates who published the description in Australian Orchid Review from a specimen collected near Nora Creina.[1] The specific epithet (littoricola) is derived from the Latin word littoris meaning "shore"[2]:707 and the suffix -cola meaning "dweller" or "inhabitant".[2]:478 This caladenia occurs in the south-east region of South Australia.[3]
