Jacksonia lateritica is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Australia.

It is an erect, sparsely branching shrub, the end branches phylloclades, the leaves reduced to egg-shaped scale leaves, the flowers yellow-orange, and the fruit a woody, densely hairy pod.

[2] Jacksonia lateritica was first formally described in 2007 by Jennifer Anne Chappill in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected 40 km (25 mi) west of Calvert Hills in the Northern Territory.

[2][3] The specific epithet (lateritica) means 'dark brick-red',[4] referring to the plant's growing on lateritic soils.

[5] This species of Jacksonia grows in woodland on yellow sand over laterite, in the far east of the Northern Territory in the Gulf Fall and Uplands bioregion and near Camooweal and south of Mount Isa, with an outlier near Jericho, in the Mount Isa Inlier bioregion.
