Jacksonia alata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a tufted, semi-prostrate to erect shrub with flattened branches, sharply-pointed side branches or phylloclades, leaves reduced to narrowly lance-shaped scales, yellow-orange flowers with a red "eye", and woody, densely hairy pods.
This species of Jacksonia grows on granite outcrops, low slopes and hillsides on the Darling Scarp south from near Bindoon and in scattered places between Dunsborough to east of Esperance, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
