Acacia dunnii, commonly known as Dunn's wattle or elephant ear wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Australia. It is a shrub or tree covered with a fine, white powdery bloom, elliptic to egg-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and narrowly oblong, more or less woody pods. The Jamindjung, Ngaliwurru people and Nungali people know the plant as bawaya, and the Ngarinyman as barrawi.
