Sporadanthus rivularis is a sedge-like herb in the Restionaceae family, native to Western Australia.[1] It is a spreading perennial growing from rhizomes to heights of from 1 to 1.2 m, on black sands and clay along creek edges.[2] It is a dioecious species.[3]

This species was first described by Barbara Briggs and Lawrie Johnson in 2012.[4][5] The specific epithet, rivularis, derives from Latin and means "of a brook or stream" referring to the species' occurrence near rivers and creeks.[5]
