Acacia exudans, also known as Casterton wattle, is a shrub species that is endemic to Australia.[1] The species was formally described by English botanist John Lindley in 1838 from material collected on Thomas Mitchell's expedition near Casterton, Victoria in 1836.[1] The description was published in Mitchell's Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia.

Acacia exudans was previously known as Acacia verniciflua but is since 1996 treated as a separate species.[2]
