Amyema nestor is a species of epiphytic hemiparasitic plant in the family Loranthaceae.[4] It is native to Western Australia,[3] and found growing only on acacias.[4]

The species was first described in 1897 as Loranthus nestor by Spencer Le Marchant Moore,[1][5] but was transferred to the genus, Amyema, in 1929 by Benedictus Hubertus Danser.[1][2]
