Albuca acuminata is a species of small, perennial, bulbous plant in the asparagus family.

It is native to southern Africa from Namibia to the Cape Province of South Africa, where it occurs in rocky areas, as far east as Port Alfred.

The bulb usually has numerous fibres around the top, made from the persistent remnants of the leaf-tunics.

The species bears 2-to-10 smooth, slender, linear, channeled leaves.

The flowers are drooping ('nodding') and pale yellow with broad green central stripes.
