Iris curvifolia is a plant species in the genus Iris, native to temperate regions of Asia, specifically in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. It is a rhizomatous perennial with sickle-shaped leaves, short stems, and yellow or bright yellow flowers. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. The plant is similar in form to Iris bloudowii but smaller, with slightly inflated bracts. It has glaucous green leaves and leafless stems that hold 2 terminal flowers between May and June. The flowers are 4.5-6 cm in diameter and come in yellow or bright yellow. After flowering, it produces a yellow-green seed capsule with reddish-brown seeds. The Latin specific epithet curvifolia refers to its curved leaves. It was first described in 1982 and is found in the meadows and grasslands on hillsides. It is rare and not commonly cultivated in the UK.
