Dryopteris arguta is a species of wood fern known by the common name coastal wood fern. It is native to the west coast of North America, where it grows in oak woodlands and shady low elevation slopes. The plant is somewhat variable in appearance. Leaflets sometimes turn at an angle from the leaf, giving it a ruffled or lacy look, and the toothed leaflets may have bristles at their tips.
