Crepis incana, the pink dandelion, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Crepis of the family Asteraceae, native to southern Greece. It is a rosette-forming herbaceous perennial growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall and wide. Superficially similar to the true dandelion (Taraxacum), it produces bright pink flower heads in late summer.

It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
