Dactylorhiza traunsteineri (Narrow-leaved Marsh Orchid or Traunstein's Dactylorhiza) is a terrestrial species of orchid native to the cooler parts of the Eastern Hemisphere. It is native to Scandinavia, the Alps, and a region extending from Germany to Western Siberia.[1][2][3] Although said by some sources to occur in Britain and Ireland, others say that plants identified as this species are actually Dactylorhiza majalis subsp. traunsteinerioides,[4] a view supported by genetic data.[5]

Five subspecies are recognized as of June 2014:[1]

  1. Dactylorhiza traunsteineri subsp. curvifolia (F.Nyl.) Soó - Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, northern Russia
  2. Dactylorhiza traunsteineri subsp. irenica (F.M.Vázquez) Kreutz - Spain
  3. Dactylorhiza traunsteineri subsp. traunsteineri - most of the species range
  4. Dactylorhiza traunsteineri subsp. turfosa (F.Proch.) Kreutz - Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia
  5. Dactylorhiza traunsteineri subsp. vosagiaca Kreutz & P.Wolff - Germany
