Sidalcea hartwegii is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common names valley checkerbloom and Hartweg's checkerbloom. It is endemic to California, where it grows in the Sacramento Valley and adjacent foothills to the east and west. It can sometimes be found on serpentine soils. This annual herb produces a slender stem up to 30 centimeters tall, mostly hairless with occasional branching hairs. The leaf blades are deeply divided into five to seven narrow linear lobes. The inflorescence is a clustered panicle of four to six flowers, each with five purplish pink petals about 2 centimeters long.
