Acacia difficilis, commonly known as river wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the tropical north of Australia. It is a shrub or tree with fibrous bark, elliptic to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spikes of lemon yellow to golden yellow flowers and linear, leathery pods that more or less resemble a string of beads.
River wattle is native to the Northern Kimberley bioregion of Western Australia, the Arnhem Coast, Arnhem Plateau, Central Arnhem, Daly Basin, Darwin Coastal, Davenport Murchison Ranges, Gulf Coastal, Gulf Fall and Uplands, Gulf Plains, Mitchell Grass Downs, Ord Victoria Plain, Pine Creek, Sturt Plateau, Tiwi Cobourg and Victoria Bonaparte bioregions of the Northern Territory, and to the far north-west of Queensland. It is grows in sandy or gravelly soils, often near watercourses, and is frequently associated with Eucalyptus tetrodonta.
