Galanthus bursanus is a species of snowdrop described in 2019 from populations in Bursa Province, Northwest Turkey.[2][3][4] This flower is classified as endangered due to factors including climate change, illegal collection, and habitat loss from quarrying and the expansion of agriculture.[4]

The species is autumn-flowering, with narrow, glaucous, foliage only partly developed at flowering time.
