Pterostylis ovata, also known as the Gawler Range rustyhood, is a plant in the orchid family that is native to South Australia. It is a perennial herb with a rosette of leaves and up to six translucent greenish-white flowers with red, brown, or pink markings. The flowers have unique features, such as transparent flanges on the petals and a striped, insect-like labellum. This plant was first described in 1986 and is found in open areas on granite and quartzite outcrops in certain regions of South Australia. Its name, ovata, comes from the Latin word for "egg-shaped." Flowering occurs from September to October.
