Acacia wiseana is a shrub that grows in arid and semi-arids parts of northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It is a spiny shrub, one to four metres in height, with yellow flowers from July to September. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves.
It was first published by Charles Gardner in 1942, based on a specimen collected by him and possibly also Frank Wise (the publication lists Wise as a collector, but the herbarium specimens are only tagged with Gardner's name), near Wandagee on the Minilya River in Western Australia, on 31 August 1932. The specific name honours Wise.
