Mahonia nevinii (syn. Berberis nevinii) is a species of flowering shrub in the barberry family known by the common name Nevin's barberry. This plant is endemic to southern California, where it is known from very few occurrences in the chaparral of inland canyons and foothills. It is a federal and state listed endangered species; there are thought to be about 500 individuals remaining in the wild. It is also widely cultivated in gardens and parks. This is an erect shrub approaching a maximum height of four meters. It has a dense foliage of dark green to bluish-green spiny-toothed, spear-shaped leaflets. It flowers in racemes of 3 to 5 bright yellow cup-shaped, layered blossoms. The fruit is a spherical reddish berry appearing in bunches.
