Phacelia mohavensis is a species of phacelia, known by the common names Mojave phacelia. and Mojave scorpionweed. It is endemic to southern California, where it grows in the San Gabriel Mountains and San Bernardino Mountains along dry stream beds. The name P. mohavensis originally also referred to plants now treated as P. exilis, but the two taxa are currently recognized as distinct species, distinguishable by flower morphology and distribution.
