Hollandaea sayeriana, also known as Sayer's silky oak, is a species of rainforest trees in the plant family Proteaceae. ^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}

It is endemic to restricted areas of the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region of northeastern Queensland, in the region of Mounts Bellenden Ker, ^[9] Bartle Frere and the eastern Atherton Tableland. They grow as understory trees beneath the canopy of lowlands to tablelands rainforests, up to about 800 m (2,600 ft) altitude. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}

As of January 2014 ^[update] this species has the official, current, Qld government conservation status of "near threatened" species. ^[1]

In 1886–87, German-Australian government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller formally scientifically described this species, ^[3] named after his associate, botanical collector William A. Sayer. ^{[10] [11]}
