Centaurea sulphurea (Sicilian Star Thistle) is a species of Centaurea. It is native to southwestern Europe and it is known on other continents as an introduced species and often a noxious weed. It is one of the closest relatives to Centaurea solstitialis, an extremely invasive thistle in California, but has only established several populations in the state since its introduction in the mid-19th century.
