Acacia cheelii, commonly known as motherumbah or motherumbung, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It is a tree with ribbony or flaky bark, mostly very narrowly elliptic, curved phyllodes, spikes of bright yellow flowers and linear, more or less woody to leathery pods.
Motherumbah mainly occurs on the north-western plains and slopes of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales and it also found near Murrurundi in the Hunter Valley region and west to the Warrumbungle Mountain and Pilliga Scrub, and north to Warialda and Torrington. There is also a population in the Glen Davis-Capertee district. It grows on rocky or stony hilltops and hillsides in skeletal or sandy soils in Eucalyptus woodland or scrubland.
