Entolasia marginata, known as the bordered panic grass, is a species of grass found in eastern Australia, tropical Asia and the Pacific region.

It can grow up to 0.8 metres tall when freestanding, but may even reach in excess of two metres tall when supported by other plants. The specific epithet marginata refers to the pale vein-like margins of the leaves.Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, {{ISBN|978-0-7318-1211-0}} page 270{{cite web |title=Entolasia marginata, PlantNET - NSW Flora Online, Retrieved April 26th, 2018,|last= S.
