Acacia fragilis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a dense, rounded or openly branched shrub with glabrous, terete branchlets, more or less terete phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and linear, thinly crust-like pods slightly constricted between the seeds.
This species of wattle is native to an area near Carnamah and south-south-east to the Cunderdin-Merredin area, with a few occurrence near Holt Rock, Boondi and near Ponton Creek 20.5 km (12.7 mi) east of Zanthus in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Great Victoria Desert, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Yalgoo bioregions, mostly in the southwest of Western Australia. It grows in sand, gravelly or clayey sand or loam in heath and on sandplains with mallee eucalypts and wattles.
