Eragrostis pectinacea is a species of grass known by the common name tufted lovegrass.

It is widespread, growing in most open spaces at varying elevations and habitats, including in disturbed areas and roadsides.

Eragrostis pectinacea is an annual tuft-forming bunchgrass, reaching maximum heights of anywhere from 10 to 80 centimeters.

It is mostly hairless except for a fringe of hairs near where the leaf blade meets the sheath.

The inflorescence is open with spreading branches holding yellowish to purplish spikelets, each just under centimeter long.
