Acacia conferta, commonly known as crowded-leaf wattle or crowded-leaved wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub or tree with slender, hairy branchlets, crowded linear to narrowly oblong, flat phyllodes, spherical heads of bright yellow flowers and firmly papery, glabrous, pods.
This species of wattle is sometimes cultivated and can be propagated by scarifying the seeds or treatment with boiling water. It prefers a sunny position and will grow in most soil types in a well-drained position. It is also frost tolerant and can cope to temperatures as low as −7 °C (19 °F).
Crowded-leaf wattle occurs on the western slopes and plains of New South Wales, north from Moree and Warialda, extending north into south-eastern Queensland as far west as Blackall and east to the coast around Proserpine, with one collection near Cairns. It grows in sandy or loamy soils in dry sclerophyll forest or Eucalyptus woodland.
