Cyathochaeta stipoides is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.[1]

The caespitose and perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.25 to 1.0 metre (0.8 to 3.3 ft). The plant blooms between October and January producing red-brown flowers.[1]

In Western Australia it is found on seasonally wet areas mostly along the south coast in the South West regions where it grows in sandy soils.[1]

It was first described in 1997 by Karen Wilson.[2][3]
