Acacia acanthaster is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a rigid, densely-branched, domed shrub with flat, linear phyllodes, spherical heads of golden-yellow flowers, and curved pods that resemble a string of beads.
This shrub grows in sandy soil, clay or loam on granite outcrop, hills and plains in disjunct places between Dumbleyung, Lake King and Narembeen, and near the type location, near Sinclair Soak, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions in the south-west of Western Australia.
