Myosotis venticola is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. Heidi Meudt and Jessica Prebble described M. venticola in 2022. Plants of this forget-me-not are perennial with bracteate and prostrate inflorescences, and small, white corollas with partly exserted stamens.
Myosotis venticola is a forget-me-not endemic to specific high-elevation areas of Otago and southern Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, from 1350–1675 m ASL. There are herbarium specimens of M. venticola from the Dunstan Mountains, Saint Marys Range (Awakino Ski Field) and Saint Bathans Range; photos of a plant on Mt Kyeburn originally identified as M. cheesemanii are also likely to be this species, but there are no herbarium specimens of this species from there. It is found on exposed rocky or gravelly ground in high-elevation sites with sparsely vegetated cushion herbfields, tussocks or fell field.
