Clarkia breweri is a species of wildflower known by the common names fairy fans and Brewer's clarkia.

It produces short stems under 20 centimeters (8 in.) in height and sparse, narrow leaves. The distinctive flowers have four pink to lavender petals, each about 2 centimeters long and wide, with 3 odd lobes, the middle lobe being long and spoon-shaped.
Typical habitat is shale or serpentine scree.
