Festuca rupicola, the furrowed fescue, is a species of cool-season grass in the family Poaceae.

It is native the warm-temperate Old World; from the Atlas Mountains of Africa, then France and much of central and eastern Europe through to Central Asia and on to Manchuria, and as far south as Saudi Arabia and Iran.

[1] A tussock-former, it is considered a typical dominant species of ancient species-rich grasslands.
