Acacia hystrix is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a rounded or inverted cone-shaped shrub with erect, sharply pointed phyllodes sometimes continuous with the branchlets, spherical heads of bright, light golden yellow flowers and oblong to narrowly oblong pods.
Acacia hystrix occurs from Kulin to near Lake Gilmore in the Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies continua is only known from the type location north of Salmon Gums where it is found growing in clay loam in Eucalyptus woodland with a dense myrtaceous understory. Subspecies hystrix commonly grows in sandy loam or clay in open scrub or low open woodland.
