Eryngium vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name coyotethistle. It is endemic to California , where it is known from vernal pools and similar wet habitat in the Central Valley and certain areas of the Central Coast Ranges and southern California coast. This is a decumbent to upright perennial herb with spreading branches up to half a meter long. The lance-shaped to oblong leaves may be up to 24 centimeters long.
