Acacia attenuata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-east Queensland. It is a slender shrub with lance-shaped or narrowly oblong phyllodes, often also juvenile bipinnate leaves, cream-coloured flowers arranged in head of 20 to 35, and papery or leathery pods up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long.
This wattle is found in south eastern Queensland in high rainfall areas, usually on coastal lowland sand plains, less than 40 km (25 mi) from the coast over a geographic range of around 400 km (250 mi), from Littabella National Park to the north of Bundaberg in the north down to around Burleigh Heads on the Gold coast in the south. It is scattered over eight LGAs with an estimated total area of 400 km2 (150 sq mi) of which less than 100 km2 (39 sq mi) is inhabited by the plant. It has an estimated total population of between 1,000 and 2,500 plants inhabiting approximately 26 individual locations. The highly fragmented distribution is a result of habitat destruction and clearing, mostly from urban development pressures.
