Festuca rupicola, the furrowed fescue, is a species of cool-season grass in the family Poaceae. It is native to the warm-temperate Old World; from the Atlas Mountains of Africa, as well as France and much of central and eastern Europe through to Central Asia and on to Manchuria, and as far south as Saudi Arabia and Iran.{{cite POWO |id=403454-1 |title=Festuca rupicola Heuff. |access-date=23 January 2022 }} A tussock-former, it is considered a typical dominant species of ancient species-rich grasslands.{{cite journal |title=Large-Scale Restoration of Dry Grasslands on Ex-Arable Land Using a Regional Seed Mixture: Establishment of Target Species |year=2013 |last1=Prach |first1=Karel |last2=Jongepierová |first2=Ivana |last3=Řehounková |first3=Klára |journal=Restoration Ecology |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=33–39 |doi=10.1111/j.1526-100X.2012.00872.x |bibcode=2013ResEc..21...33P }}
