Potentilla breweri is a species of Potentilla known by the common name Brewer's cinquefoil.
It is native to western North America, with populations scattered from southern Washington to south-central California and from the Pacific cordillera inland to the mountains of the Great Basin. Its greatest population density occurs in the Sierra Nevada, the high Cascade Ranges, and Steens Mountain.
The plants are found in high-montane to subalpine meadow openings. They prefer seasonally-wet habitats with little competition for sunlight, such as rocky meadows and rock crevices, and are often found near lakes and streams. They range in altitude from 1,500 to 3,600 metres (4,900 to 11,800 ft).
