"Pogona henrylawsoni" is an agamid lizard that is commonly known as Lawson's dragon. It is similar to the larger inland bearded dragon ("Pogona vitticeps"), but this dragon is usually less than 10 inches in length. This dragon is also called Rankin's Dragon or the Black Soil Bearded Dragon.

A formal description was not published for this dragon until 1985, despite being known to herpetologists. The name for this species was disputed, along with the other taxonomic treatments of Wells and Wellington, [cite web | url = http://www.smuggled.com/pogona1.htm | title = Pogona - From an Australian Perspective. | accessdate = | author = Raymond Hoser | authorlink = | coauthors = | date = June 1997 | work = | publisher = Author's website | quote = paper from REPTILIAN MAGAZINE (UK), 5 (2), , pp. 27-41 (Online version) ] but was published again by Harold Cogger (2000) and others as a valid name. [Cogger,H.G. 2000. Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia, 6th ed. Ralph Curtis Publishing, Sanibel Island [http://www.tigr.org/reptiles/species.php?genus=Pogona&species=henrylawsoni cite] ]

The specific epithet is a reference to the Australian author Henry Lawson.
