Potentilla canadensis, the dwarf cinquefoil, is a species of cinquefoil (genus Potentilla) native to North America.

[1] The Iroquois take a pounded infusion of the roots as an antidiarrheal.

[2] The Natchez give the plant as a drug for those believed to be bewitched.

[3] Along with Potentilla simplex, the plant is an indicator of impoverished soil[4] as well as the host species for the cinquefoil bud gall wasp Diastrophus potentillae.
