Ferulopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the umbellifer family Apiaceae, native to the Altai, Mongolia and Siberia. They form cushions which are ecologically important in the cold areas in which they live.{{cite journal |doi=10.1080/00207233.2015.1027594 |title=More than just a plant: Cushion plants as biodiversity protectors in high mountains of Siberia |year=2015 |last1=Volkov |first1=Igor V. |last2=Volkova |first2=Irina I. |s2cid=85343347 |journal=International Journal of Environmental Studies |volume=72 |issue=3 |pages=474–489 |bibcode=2015IJEnS..72..474V }} Some authorities have it as a synonym of Phlojodicarpus.
