Carex crawei, commonly called Crawe's sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family. It is native to North America, where it is widespread in the United States and Canada.[2] Though widespread, it has a patchy distribution and is generally rare throughout its range.

It is a rhizomatous perennial that flowers in early spring.
