Suaeda californica is a rare species of flowering plant in the amaranth family known by the common name California seablite. It is now endemic to San Luis Obispo County, California, where it is known from a few occurrences in the marshes around Morro Bay. Historical populations around San Francisco Bay have been extirpated, though it has been reintroduced to multiple sites in the area.
