Acacia cuneifolia is an erect or straggly shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in). Its branchlets are sometimes glabrous sometimes hairy. The phyllodes are sometimes arranged in clusters and are variably shaped, often with one side straight and the other side curved, wedge-shaped or oblong, 8–25 mm (0.31–0.98 in) long and 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) wide with a sharp point on the end. There are stipules 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long at the base of the phyllodes, more or less spiny with age but often only with the base persisting. The flowers are borne in up to six, more or less spherical heads on a peduncle 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) long, the heads 3.5–4.5 mm (0.14–0.18 in) in diameter with 23 to 25 golden yellow flowers. Flowering has been recorded in September and October, and the pods are strongly curved to coiled, up to 50 mm (2.0 in) long and 4.5–5.5 mm (0.18–0.22 in) wide and glabrous. The seeds are oblong to slightly elliptic, 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long, dull, dark brown with a cream-coloured aril on the end.
