Chionochloa flavicans is a species of plant in the grass family, endemic to New Zealand.

The plumes begin a green colour and as they age turn light brown.

C. flavicans is one of the easier Chionochloa species to identify because of its distinctive plumes.

A different form, C. flavicans forma temata, can be found growing on Te Mata Peak near Havelock North.
