Tumbuhan alpin adalah tumbuhan yang tumbuh di iklim alpin. Tumbuhan alpin tumbuh di dataran tinggi dan di atas garis pohon. Terdapat berbagai spesies dan taksa tumbuhan yang tumbuh sebagai komunitas tumbuhan di tundra alpin ini.^[1] Tumbuhan ini meliputi rumput abadi, teki, forb, tumbuhan bantalan, lumut, dan lumut kerak.^[2] Tumbuhan alpin beradaptasi dengan kondisi lingkungan alpin yang keras, yang seeprti suhu rendah, kekeringan, radiasi ultraviolet, angin, kekeringan, tanah yang miskin nutrisi, dan musim tanam yang pendek. Beberapa tumbuhan alpin juga serang dimanfaatkan sebagai tanaman obat.
