Amphipogon setaceus is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to Western Australia.[1] It grows in seasonally wet areas, swamps, and fringing watercourses from Nannup to Albany. It flowers in spring and early summer in a greyish head of multiple spikelets.[2] When placed in the genus Diplopogon as Diplopogon setaceus, it was the only species.[3]
