Hieracium greenei (not to be confused with Hieracium greenii) is a species of hawkweed known by the common name Greene's hawkweed.
It is native to the forests of the Klamath Mountains and neighboring ranges in southern Oregon and northern California. This is a small hawkweed forming a basal rosette of densely hairy gray-green leaves, each 5 to 10 centimeters long and some with toothed edges. It bolts a thin, hairy stem which reaches 20 to 40 centimeters tall. The stem bears an inflorescence of several flower heads containing yellow ligules. The fruit is a ribbed achene about half a centimeter long with a light brown pappus.
