Pimelea gigandra  was first formally described in 2017 by Anthony Bean in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens collected in Lamington National Park in 2016. The specific epithet (gigandra) is derived from Greek words meaning "large" or "giant" and "man" or "male", referring to the anthers that are larger than those of similar species.
