Heterotheca oregona is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Oregon false goldenaster. It is native to the west coast of the United States from Washington to central California, where it is found in low-elevation mountain forests and chaparral, often near water. This is a perennial herb which is variable in appearance, with four somewhat indistinct varieties. It reaches a maximum height of 20 centimeters to one meter, and is covered in small bristles. The inflorescence holds flower heads with yellowish disc florets and no ray florets. The fruit is an achene with a long grayish pappus.
