Fimbristylis cephalophora is a sedge of the family Cyperaceae that is native to Australia.

The annual grass-like or herb sedge typically grows to a height of 0.1 to 0.75 metres (0.3 to 2.5 ft) and has a tufted habit. It blooms between March and August and produces brown flowers.[1]

In Western Australia it is found along creeks, streams and rivers and other damp places in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions where it grows black clay, basaltic loam and sandy soils.[1]
