Eragrostis setifolia, commonly known as neverfail grass, is a species of perennial grass in the family Poaceae native to Australia. It is listed as a least concern species throughout most of its range with the exception of Victoria where it is classified as vulnerable. It is capable of C4 photosynthesis and is found in all mainland Australian states with the highest density in western New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory. It is most commonly associated with semi-arid woodlands and shrub-lands, Coolibah and black box woodlands, salt bush communities, and native grasslands. It is commonly grazed by native herbivores and is used for livestock grazing. It is tolerant to grazing and provides important habitat for native species.
