Jacksonia sternbergiana, commonly known as stinkwood,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

[3] It is an erect or weeping shrub or tree with dull green branches, straight, sharply-pointed side branches, its leaves reduced to scales, yellowish-orange flowers, and woody, hairy pods.

[5][6] The specific epithet (sternbergiana) honours Kaspar Maria von Sternberg.

[7] This species of Jacksonia is widespread between Northampton and the Green Range in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

This plant provides food for the larvae of several species of butterfly, including the turquoise jewel, fringed heath-blue, and long-tailed pea-blue.
