Jacksonia nutans is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is an erect, prickly shrub with yellow to greyish-green branches, sharply-pointed branchlets, leaves reduced to triangular scales, orange flowers with red markings, and woody, densely hairy, round or elliptic pods.

[2][4] The specific epithet (nutans) means 'nodding',[5] referring to the strongly down-curved pedicels of the fruit.

[2] This species of Jacksonia grows on sand on sandplains and sand dunes from Geraldton to the Moore River area and east to Watheroo National Park, Moora and Wannamal in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3] Jacksonia nutans is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
