Acacia macdonnelliensis, commonly known as the MacDonnell mulga and the Hill mulga,[1] is a species of Acacia native to central Australia.[2]

The bushy shrub or tree typically grows to a height of 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 ft) and has deeply fissured grey bark. It has sparsely hoary and glabrous branchlets with obscure resinous ridges. It produces yellow flowers in July.[3]

It is found in the Northern Territory and in Western Australia in areas of sandstone and quartzite along rocky ridges and creeklines.[3] A. macdonnelliensis is drought and frost tolerant.[1]
