Acacia frigescens, commonly known as montane wattle, frosted wattle or forest wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Victoria, Australia. It is a shrub or tree with glabrous branchlets, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical heads of pale yellow to bright yellow flowers and linear pods raised over the seeds.
