Acacia calligera is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Australia. It is a spreading, glabrous, sticky shrub with mostly egg-shaped to elliptic or oblong phyllodes, spikes of sulfur yellow to golden yellow flowers, and crust-like to more or less woody pods up to 90 mm (3.5 in) long.
Acacia calligera often grows in read sand or clay, or in laterite in shrubland or open woodland with a grassy understorey or ridges, escarpment or plains, sometimes forming dense thickets. It occurs in the Central Kimberley, Dampierland and Ord Victoria Plain bioregions of Western Australia, the Barkly Tableland and Katherine Regions in the top end of the Northern Territory and the Normanton area of Queensland.
