Purshia stansburyana is a species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common name Stansbury's cliffrose.

It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it grows in woodlands, desert, and plateau habitat.

It often grows anchored on cliffs and prefers rocky, granular soils, especially limestone.

[2] The Stansbury's cliffrose shrub provides valuable browse for many wild ungulates, including elk, mule deer, and desert bighorn sheep, as well as livestock.

[2] It was used by Native American groups for a variety of purposes, the bark being worked into fiber for clothing, bedding, and rope, and the branches being made into arrows.
