Acacia imbricata, commonly known as imbricate wattle, is a shrub species that is endemic to South Australia. It grows to between 1 and 2 metres high and had phyllodes up to 16 mm long and 2 mm wide. The yellow globular flowerheads arise from the leaf axils in groups of 2 or singly.
The species was first formally described in 1858 by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. His description was based on plant material collected from Tumby Bay.
