Potentilla clevelandii, also known as Cleveland's horkelia, is a species of flowering plant in the rose family.

This is a perennial herb forming clumps of long, fernlike leaves and erect stems.

The leaves are up to 18 centimeters long and are made up of triangular to rounded leaflets, each toothed or lobed and covered in thin hairs.

The narrow stems reach 10 to 50 centimeters in height and bear inflorescences of several flowers.

Its specific epithet clevelandii honors 19th-century San Diego–based plant collector and lawyer Daniel Cleveland.
