Erigeron breweri is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Brewer's fleabane.

Erigeron breweri is native to the western United States in the states of California and Nevada,[2] where it grows in many varied habitats, from mountains to grassland and desert. It is a perennial herb reaching anywhere from 10 to 70 centimeters (4-28 inches) in height with evenly spaced small leaves along its hairy stems. The flower heads are around one centimeter (0.4 inches) wide with centers of golden yellow or greenish disc florets and most heads have a fringe of purple ray florets.[3]
