"Banksia" 'Superman', also known by its extended cultivar name "Banksia serrata" 'Superman', is a registered "Banksia" cultivar. Its leaves and inflorescences are most the twice the size of typical plants of its parent species, "Banksia serrata" (Saw Banksia). Naturally occurring close to running water or on poorly drained sites between Nambucca Heads and Grassy Head in Mew South Wales, it grows true to seed.

It was discovered in 1986 during mapping for "The Banksia Atlas" project; at the time it was suggested that it should be given subspecies rank, but this has not occurred. It has not yet been introduced into commercial cultivation.
