Leptosema macrocarpum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to near-coastal areas of Western Australia. It is a densely tufted subshrub with several stems, wavy, winged branchlets, leaves reduced to narrowly egg-shaped scales, dull pink to red flowers, and linear, cylindrical pods.
Leptosema macrocarpum grows on near-coastal, calcareous soils or on hard limestone of red sandy soil over limestone, in hummock grassland with Triodia or shrubland, between the North West Cape and Horrocks in the Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
