Leucopogon amplectens is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–75 cm (12–30 in) and has tube-shaped, white flowers from April to June.
It was first formally described in 1921 by Carl Hansen Ostenfeld in the journal Biologiske meddelelser, Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab from specimens collected near Tammin. The specific epithet (amplectens) means "embracing", referring to the leaves.
