''Dichrostachys'' is an Old World genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Their ''Acacia''-like leaves are bi-pinnately compound.

Their name is derived from the Greek words ''dis'' (two), ''chroos'' (colour) and ''stachys'' (grain ear or spike), which in combination suggests their bi-colored inflorescences.
