Allocasuarina anfractuosa, commonly known as sinuous sheoak, is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the southwest of Western Australia. It is a bushy, monoecious shrub that has spreading, sinuous branchlets, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of 11 to 15, the fruiting cones 28–35 mm (1.1–1.4 in) long containing winged seeds (samaras) 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in) long.
Sinuous sheoak grows in heath where it often forms dense stands, and is only known from a small area north-west of Boxwood Hill in the Esperance Plains bioregion of south-western Western Australia.
