Sidalcea hirsuta is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common name hairy checkerbloom. It is endemic to California, where it grows in seasonally wet habitat throughout the central part of the state, such as vernal pools. This annual herb produces a thick stem up to 80 centimeters tall, the top parts covered in bristly hairs. The leaf blades are deeply divided into narrow linear lobes and coated in bristles. The inflorescence is a dense cluster of flowers with pink petals up to 2.5 centimeters long.
