Leucopogon australis, commonly known as spiked beard-heath, is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to southern Australia. It is an erect, aromatic shrub with narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic leaves, and white flowers arranged in spikes near the ends of branchlets.
This leucopogon grows in the understorey of forest in wetter places within 100 km (62 mi) of the coast of Western Australia between Gingin, Augusta and Albany, Peterborough and Yarram in Victoria, and northern Tasmania, where it is rare.
