The species Pogona minor includes the widespread nominotypical subspecies Pogona minor minor, commonly known as the western bearded dragon, which is widespread across Western Australia between the Pilbara and the south coast, and the subspecies Pogona minor minima, which is confined to the Wallabi Group of islands. There is another subspecies, Pogona minor mitchelli, which lives in tropical woodlands of the Kimberley area of Western Australia.

Pogona minor minor is 15 cm (5.9 in) in snout-to-vent length (SVL) (and 38 cm (15 in) in total length, tail included).
