Poa fordeana is a grass (family Poaceae) native to Australia which is found in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.[3]

It was first described in 1873 by Ferdinand von Mueller[1][2] from a specimen collected by Helena Scott (Mrs Forde) whom the specific epithet, fordeana, honours.[4]
