Leucopogon nutans is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub that was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected in Darlington (now a suburb of Perth).[2][3] The specific epithet (nutans) means "nodding".[4]

Leucopogon nutans is found in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia. It is listed (as Styphelia nitens) as "not threatened", by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[5]
