The Bitcoin wallet on Mac OS X is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat.
Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) came out, and it has the ~/Library folder hidden, see the answer from chilled35 to access it with Finder.
In order to see hidden folders, such as
~/Libraryfrom Finder, simply hitshift + ⌘ (command) + Gwhich will GO to a folder, then paste in this location:~/Library/Application Support/BitcoinFrom there, you will see all the files associated with your wallet.

Remember, this is the default location. If you installed Bitcoin a long time ago, you may have chosen another folder somewhere else... For example, mine was in

Having moved all my BTC to another location, I recovered more than 5 GB of storage space by deleting my local wallet.
