Correa lawrenceana var. grampiana, commonly known as Grampians Mountain-correa, is a variety of Correa lawrenceana endemic to Victoria in Australia. It grows to 2.5 metres tall. Leaves are about 40 mm long and 17 mm wide and are dark green on the upper surface, while the lower surface is covered with hairs. The pendent, tubular flowers are hairy and yellow-green. It occurs in the Grampians region in rocky woodland.[2]

The variety was first formally described by Paul G. Wilson in the journal Nuytsia in 1998.[1] The Grampians Correa is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[3]
