Acacia buxifolia, commonly known as box-leaf wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with narrowly ellipitic to oblong or egg-shaped phyllodes, cylindrical heads of bright yellow flowers, and straight or strongly curved, firmly papery to thinly leathery pods.
Acacia buxifolia is a hardy, winter-flowering ornamental that attracts birds and insects, although it should not be planted within 2 m (6 ft 7 in) of sewer mains.
Box-leaf wattle grows in forest, woodland and heath, often on rocky outcrops. Subspecies buxifolia occurs in scattered locations from Stanthorpe in south-eastern Queensland, in eastern New South Wales and in north-eastern Victoria. Subspecies pubiflora occurs in scattered places from near Tambo in Queensland to Tenterfield in northern New South Wales, and is mostly found near Emmaville in New South Wales.
