Acacia lazaridis is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to north eastern Australia.
The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 2.5 m (1 ft 8 in to 8 ft 2 in) and is glabrous. It has flattened to angular branchlets that are a maroon-brown colour but become grey as they age with prominent ribbing and often with a powdery white coating.
