Silene sennenii is a species of plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is endemic to Spain. Its natural habitat is Mediterranean Matorral shrubland vegetation. Classified as an endangered species by the IUCN, it is threatened by habitat loss.
Silene sennenii is restricted to lowland fenassars (community Brachypodietum phoenicoidis), a grassland type typically found on the margins of arable fields, roadside embankments and, less commonly, in abandoned cultivation at elevations of 15–100 metres. These fenassars are dominated by coarse grasses and support a sparse cover of forbs; S. sennenii occurs on bare patches or in lightly disturbed soil, often among companion species such as field eryngo (Eryngium campestre), Spanish oat-grass (Avena barbata), wild carrot (Daucus carota), wild fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and small-flowered catchfly (Silene vulgaris).
