Drosera spilos is named from the Greek spilos (a spot), in reference to the dark pink to reddish blotch always present near the base of the petals.

Drosera spilos is known from Western Australia, with records from Bannister, Bolgart, Cataby, Eneabba, Gillingarra, Muchea, Three Springs, Walkaway and Wyalkatchem.

It grows in loam soils covered with laterite pebbles or in clayey sand often in association with granite outcrops in open areas covered with light heath.
