Atacama nivea is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, and the sole species in genus Atacama. It is a subshrub native to the Andes of northern Chile, where it grows in subalpine habitats.[1]

It was first described as Sisymbrium niveum by Rodolfo Amando Philippi in 1860. In 2014 Oscar Toro-Núñez, Mark E. Mort, and Ihsan Ali Al-Shehbaz placed it in the new monotypic genus Atacama.[1]
