Alopecurus creticus, the Cretan meadow foxtail, is a species of foxtail grass.
It is a bunchgrass native to Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, the east Aegean Islands, Crete and Turkey. It can be found in marshes and wet places near sea level, and wet grasslands near freshwater sub-saline grassy flats.
It is threatened by coastal development and marsh draining.[1]
