Acacia echinula, commonly known as hedgehog wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is an intricate shrub with hairy branchlets, rather crowded phyllodes, spherical heads of mid-golden yellow flowers and curved, thinly leathery to crusty pods.
Hedgehog wattle grows in sand over sandstone, in forest or heath, mainly between Nowra and Lake Macquarie with an outlier near Grafton in New South Wales.
