Acacia ixodes, commonly known as motherumbung, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a glabrous, bushy shrub or small tree with narrowly oblong to lance-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical heads of bright golden yellow flowers and firmly leathery, narrowly oblong to linear pods rounded over the seeds.
This species of wattle grows on sandy soils, often with Eucalyptus melanophloia and Callitris columellaris, from west of Charleville to north of Bungunya in southern inland Queensland and from Dubbo to Gilgandra and near Mendooran in central New South Wales, with older records from near Bourke.
