Jacksonia pendens is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the north of the Northern Territory.

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

[2] Jacksonia pendens was first formally described in 2007 by Jennifer Anne Chappill in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected 14.9 km (9.3 mi) from Pine Creek Road in 1992.

[4] This species of Jacksonia grows in woodland over laterite or sandstone in the Arnhem Plateau, Darwin Coastal and Pine Creek bioregions in the north of the Northern Territory.

[5] Jacksonia pendens is listed as of "least concern" under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act.
