Salix aurita, the eared willow,[1] is a species of willow distributed over much of Europe, and occasionally cultivated.

It is a shrub to 2.5 m in height, distinguished from the similar but slightly larger Salix cinerea by its reddish petioles and young twigs.

It was named for its persistent kidney-shaped stipules along the shoots.
