Empetrum rubrum, commonly known as red crowberry or diddle-dee, is a species of plant in the Ericaceae family. It has a wide distributional range, from Talca in Chile to Cape Horn, and can also be found in Argentina, the Falkland Islands, and Tristan da Cunha. It is most commonly found in high altitude areas close to the tree line, and is the dominant species in large areas of lowland and upland dwarf shrub heath in the Falkland Islands. Its fruits are edible and it is referenced in the Falkland Islands' unofficial national anthem.
