Erigeron leiomerus is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names rockslide yellow fleabane or rockslide fleabane. It is native to the western United States, primarily in the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin. It has been found in Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
