Cyperus oxycarpus is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.[1]

The rhizomatous perennial sedge typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 0.9 metres (1.0 to 3.0 ft) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between March and April and produces brown flowers.[1]

In Western Australia it is found around wet areas in the Kimberley region where it grows in clay soils.[1]
