Viola eriocarpa (syn. Viola pubescens var. scabriuscula), the smooth yellow violet, is a species of flowering plant in the family Violaceae. It is native to Canada and the United States east of the Rockies. A perennial of forests, it prefers very rich soils. It is extremely difficult to distinguish from Viola pubescens unless both are examined together.
