Sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina, Poaceae) is a fine-textured bunchgrass from Europe and Asia, used as a fodder grass, lawn grass, and garden ornamental. It is sometimes confused with hard fescue (Festuca trachyphylla).

Detailed cultural requirements, pest and disease associations, and hardiness data have not been documented. The cultivar 'Glauca' (blue form) is available in the trade. The profile is a stub awaiting enrichment.
