Pedicularis lapponica, the Lapland lousewort, is a perennial hemiparasitic species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae with yellow to creme coloured flowers.

[1] The plant has an unbranched (or very rarely branched) stem of 10–25 cm tall which grows from a creeping rootstock with long slender rhizomes.

Stem leaves are narrow, elongated, and compound with toothed sections, the lower on long petioles.

Compared to P. lanata, P. lapponica has a breeding system with a lower capacity for outcrossing in West Greenland (Disko) and less morphological variation.

Pedicularis lapponica is widely distributed on the northern hemisphere in the arctic and boreal zone.
